About the Auditorium

The McGraw-Hill Auditorium holds approximately 350 people.  Presentations will be made on a stage in the auditorium.  Networking breaks and exhibits will be held in an adjacent gallery.  Because of the size of the auditorium is limited, we recommend registering to the conference asap.  The auditorium is located on the second floor of the building up a bank of escalators from the lobby.

Getting Around

The McGraw-Hill Auditorium is centrally located in midtown Manhattan at 1221 Avenue of the Americas (6th Avenue) between 48th and 49th streets.  The closest subway access includes the B,D,F,V lines stopping at "47-50 Sts Rockefeller Center".  However, there are a number of subway lines in very close walking distance.  Please see the MTA website for a full subway map.

Midtown Manhattan is accessible by any of the three major New York airports: LaGuardia, JFK or Newark.

Where to Stay

The IDPF does not have arrangements for discounted hotel fares in New York.  Therefore, if you are staying overnight in New York, we suggest any hotel in midtown Manhattan.  Often discounted hotels can be found on Internet services and any hotel in midtown will be convenient to the Auditorium by taxi, subway or foot.
