Venue Information

New York University

CCN 2026 will take place at NYU’s Washington Square campus in the heart of Greenwich Village, Manhattan. The conference will use two adjacent buildings:

Skirball – The Jack H. Skirball Center for the Performing Arts will serve as the main theater for keynote lectures.

Kimmel – The Kimmel Center for University Life, located next door to Skirball, will host poster sessions, smaller lecture halls, and additional talk rooms.

Note: Skirball and Kimmel Center are right next to each other, so moving between keynotes, talks, and poster sessions is quick and easy.

Getting to the Venue

The closest subway station is West 4th St–Washington Sq, served by the A, C, E, B, D, F, and M trains. The Skirball Center is a 5 - 7 minute walk from the station.
