THE VENUE

The Edison Ballroom

In 2027 we return to the Edison Ballroom, right in the heart of midtown New York City. Originally opened in the 1930s as the Grand Ballroom of the adjacent Edison Hotel, this venue recently completed a multi-million-dollar renovation that preserved its original flair and art deco style. To accommodate our expanding audience, this year we will host all networking events at The Rooftop within the Edison, which has incredible views and a retractable roof.
