The plenary and panel sessions will be held in NYU Shanghai's New Bund Campus (at 567 Yangsi W Road, Pudong, New Area). Please see the schedule for room numbers.
"NYU Shanghai’s new 114,000-square-meter campus in the New Bund opened in Spring 2023. Composed of four interlocked structures, the university’s 9-story new home is set around an academic quadrangle. While the furnishings may be familiar, the New Bund campus has many new features to discover, including a black box theater, a recital hall, a smaller 250-seat lecture hall and a 600-seat auditorium, a loft dance studio, an art gallery, two athletic centers, a 5,000-square-meter library, a grassy atrium, and the Magnolia House – a winter garden lounge area."

Check in is at 3 pm on June 16th and check-out is at 11 am on June 20th (unless you have already provided alternative dates). You will need your passport at check-in and can refer to the NYU group booking for more details.
