01 / Arrival

Find the side entrance.

MetroTech is a cluster of education and office buildings around a public commons. For CIG 2017, the route into the conference was through the NYU side entrance at 2 MetroTech Center, not the main building lobby.

  1. Use the NYU side entrance

    Approach 2 MetroTech Center and look for the NYU entrance at the side of the building.

  2. Check in with security

    Tell the person at the desk that you are attending CIG 2017. They may check your name against the conference list.

  3. Take the lift to eight

    Past security, use the elevator bank and go to the eighth floor. The registration desk was directly ahead.

Building access rules may have changed since 2017. This page records the arrival instructions published for the conference.

Plan the last block

MetroTech sits between several subway stations and a busy set of streets. The useful map is not the city map; it is the last block between the station and the side entrance.

If you are coming from Manhattan, allow time for the walk and for security. If you are arriving by taxi, ask for 2 MetroTech Center and use the NYU entrance rather than the main lobby.
