New York Academy of Sciences

New York, NY

Registration to the DREAM2 conference is open. Registration is processed by the NY Academy of Sciences.

The program of the 2nd DREAM COnference features an exciting group of Invited Speakers, the presentation of papers accepted by our Program Committee, and the presentation of the best network predictions from our data challenges.

Hotel rates in Manhattan are extremely variable, going from expensive to very expensive. To get an idea of the range in prices, please take a look at the following list of hotels and rates. Note that the list contains some hotels in Brooklyn and some in Jersey City (the latter just one train station accross the the Hudson River away from the NYAS). We are providing this list only as a reference. There may be many other more convenient and less expensive hotels not included in this list. Unfortunately we couldn't find hotels that give special conference rates. If you need to know how to get from your hotel to the DREAM2 conference at the NYAS you can use the New York City Transit Trip Planner, or the New York City subway map.
