OK so this year, after many years at the Hilton, ad:tech New York is moving to the Javits Center. It’s a mixed blessing. It’s a bigger space so it won’t be the sardine can-like crowding the Hilton conference became famous for. But it’s not exactly near anything in the city.
To make things easier for those of us who loved to be able to pop up to our hotel room between session, ad:tech will have several lounge areas where attendees can work. The Beer Garden, where food and beer will be available, will also be back. And there will be a full on bus shuttle service between Javits and several Times Square hotels:
Shuttle Transportation provided by Academy Bus - Buses will run on a 10 to 15 minute pickup schedule:
ROUTE 1 (464) SERVICING: Westin New York, W NY Times Square
Pick-up on 45th St, Off Broadway (near Marriott Marquis Hotel)
ROUTE 2 (1406) SERVICING: Sheraton New York Hotel & Towers and Sheraton Manhattan
Pick-up on 7TH Ave, BTW 52nd & 53rd St (Across from the hotel)
HOURS OF SERVICE:
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4 7:15 am – 11:15 am; 4:00 pm – 7:30 pm

WPP Chief Executive Martin Sorell will deliver the opening keynote at ad:tech New York November 4-6 at the Javits Centers. Sorrel has been equally lauded and maligned over his tenure with WPP. Hes been sensationalized for his high-profile divorce, a libel suit involving “vicious” images and mergers and acquisitions that were questioned by some. No doubt, the keynote will be interesting. Hopefully George Parker will show up and ask some pointed questions. That could be interesting!
