\nRegistration for the Conference
\nThere are some aspects of this conference that have changed from the way it has been done in the past:
\n·\; No Friday Plenary Session.
\n·\; No Food. Those who have been attending will remember that food is available in the snack bar just off the Atrium where we have held the Friday Evening sessions several times. In addition\, there are several restaurants and a Starbucks close by.
\n·\; No Registration Fee as such. In order to cover the minimum expenses of putting on the program &ndash\; badges\, printed programs\, paying some students to help with registration &ndash\; we require that everyone who participates or attends be a member of SAGP for 2017/18. We&rsquo\;ll try to cover everything out of SAGP dues\, and that will work only if we&rsquo\;re serious about all attendees being current dues-paying members of the Society. Membership forms and information about current membership status available from apreus@binghamton.edu.
\n·\; Fordham University security requires all visitors to the Lincoln Center Campus to register for the conference and receive a guest badge. Members of the Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy who are on the program will have a badge waiting for them when they arrive (we hope). Other current members who expect to attend\, but are not on the program\, should alert Preus (apreus@binghamton.edu) of their intention\, in order to assure that a badge will be prepared for them. Current members who plan to attend are encouraged to volunteer to chair a session: a DRAFT program is included below to assist in planning for that!
\n·\; We hope to make it possible for persons who are not current members to join the Society for 2017/18 at the registration desk and get a badge\, at least on Saturday morning.
\nConference Location
\nAll conference events take place at Fordham University\, Lincoln Center campus\, 60th St. &\; Columbus Ave\, New York. This is on the western side of Manhattan\, about two blocks from Columbus Circle and the southwestern border of Central Park. The closest subway stop for Fordham is the 59 Street/Columbus Circle stop\, which is serviced by the blue lines (the A and C trains)\, the red line (the #1 train) and the orange line (the B and D trains).
\nAccommodations
\nThe hotel closest to Fordham&rsquo\;s Lincoln Center campus is the Hudson Hotel (www.hudsonhotel.com)\, which provides a business rate (pending availability) if you identify yourself as affiliated with Fordham University.
\nLodging can be found on a number of search vehicles like www.expedia.com\, www.nyc.com/hotels/\, hotels.com\, or\, www.nycgo.com/hotels (which is the site to which the Mayor&rsquo\;s office links). A number of sites allow you to search by regions within Manhattan. The three regions closest to Fordham are Central Park West (north of the campus)\, Clinton (&ldquo\;Hell&rsquo\;s Kitchen\,&rdquo\; west and south of the campus)\, and Midtown West (south of the campus). Some sites allow you to search by landmarks: the closest one to Fordham is the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts (across the street from Fordham). The Lincoln Center area is one of the more expensive places to stay in the city\, but around Bryant Park and the Empire State building (three stops from Columbus Circle on the red line)\, lodging is more reasonably priced.
