Air Travel to New York

Airfare, hotel and other travel expenses are not included in the registration fee, so attendees should make their own travel arrangements. 

Hotel Accommodations

Those who will also attend CNS will probably prefer to extend their stay at the hotel they have selected for CNS and travel by taxi or subway to the New York Seminar and Conference Center.  Those attending only the BESA workshop should see the hotel recommendations on the New York Seminar and Conference Center web site.

The cost of the workshop is $300 per person to help defray expenses.  To register for the workshop, please visit the registration form.

This will be a valuable opportunity, both to learn about the software, and to meet with other BESA users, as well as Megis and Cortech Solutions staff.  We hope that you will be there!
