About the Venue
The New York Academy of Sciences Conference Center is located at 7 World Trade Center. Completed in 2006, it is the first commercial office building in New York City to receive the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification, where it won a Gold rating.
