Choose your shift

Register for one only
Shift One
11am – 1pm

Doors open at 11am. Best if you want exhibitor time at the start of the day.

Register for 11am – 1pm
Shift Two
1pm – 3pm

A good fit around morning naps and late starts. Same exhibitors, same room.

Register for 1pm – 3pm
Why two shifts

The fair runs 11am–3pm, but we split it into two shifts so the room stays comfortable and you can actually talk to the people you came to see. Please register for one shift only — the one you plan to attend.

Before you go

Practical notes
The venue

New York Law School

185 West Broadway, New York, NY — between Leonard and Worth Streets in Tribeca.

Nearest trains: Franklin St (1), Chambers St (A/C/E, 1/2/3), Canal St (J/N/Q/R/W/6).

What to expect

One room, one afternoon

Tables are staffed by directors and admissions people, not brochures alone. Come with your child's age, your neighborhood, and the two or three questions that actually decide it for you — hours, tuition, start dates, waitlists.
