New Netherland Institute's 42nd Annual Conference
The New Netherland Institute (NNI) invites you to attend our 42nd Annual Conference, which will be hosted by the Hudson River Valley Institute at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, New York on October 5, 2019.
Our annual dinner will be on the evening of the conference (Oct. 5) at Coppola's in Hyde Park.
Registration will open in early August.
ACCOMODATIONS
Due to the limited availability of hotels near the college on the weekend of the conference, we recommend you book soon. We were able to reserve a block of rooms at a discounted price for Friday night only at Homewood Suites Poughkeepsie. If you are interested in staying Friday and Saturday, you will have to book Saturday separately.
Guests can book online or can call the hotel directly at 845-462-0030. The group rate for a king or queen bed on Friday is $153.00. Use code NNI.
