The Venue

FIX 2018 will be held at the New York Academy of Medicine. A historic Romanesque building completed in 1927, the building’s stunning interior is filled with decorative details that evoke the history of medicine– a perfect backdrop to invite conversation about the future of medicine and the vital and thrilling role women play in it.

Also on site, the New York Academy of Medicine’s academic library houses one of the world’s most important collections of original medical and public health texts. Located on Fifth Avenue across from Central Park, FIX 2018 participants will find themselves right in the heart of New York City’s bustling Upper East Side, with easy access to museums and restaurants.

On October 17th and 18th, speakers will be featured on the stage of Hosack Hall, a beautiful 583-seat theater fully equipped to bring state-of-the-art presentations to conference attendees.

The President’s Gallery, a stunning 1,700 square-foot space located directly across from the auditorium will house our exhibitor’s space, where FIX attendees can network, relax, and engage with sponsors.
