EconSports will take place on the same day as EconWomen and the day before our Future of Business Media conference at The Edison Ballroom, located in Midtown Manhattan at 240 West 47th Street. The venue has a storied past: it was originally opened in the ‘30s as the grand ballroom for the Hotel Edison. A generation later, it was converted to the Edison Theater and was home to various Broadway shows. Later, in 1991, the venue became The Supper Club, where patrons dined and danced to the music of big-band style orchestras.
The art deco-style venue spans 17,000 square feet and features a newly renovated décor, state-of-the-art audio, video and lighting, as well as a unique food and entertainment package.
The closest subway stops are at 50th Street and 8th Avenue (A,C,E); 50th and Broadway (1,2); 49th and 7th (N,R,W); and Rockefeller Center (B,D,F,V).
