CPA 2026
Accommodations
As the hosting site for the CPA 2026 Conference, Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC) is located in the heart of Tribeca in NYC (199 Chambers St, New York, NY 10007). This area is in Lower Manhattan, which is relatively easy to get to from all major airports and hotels. This area is also filled with multiple stay options, from hotels to Airbnb. All of the options listed here, except for Teachers College Housing, are in close proximity to this site. While some may involve a one-stop subway ride, most others are within walking distance. All of these hotel rates will most likely be cheaper if reserved via third party venues such as Expedia. If you have any questions, please email Rosario Torres at torresguevara@mac.com with the subject “CPA 2026 Stay.”
