Registration for the cruise is now closed, as we have reached the ship capacity, but if you wish to get on the waiting list in case of a cancellation, please register here. We'll inform you once a seat is vacated.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of its founding, the Chinese Language Teachers Association of Greater New York will organize a 3-hour dinner cruise following the conference on Saturday, May 12. Our cruise on the East River departs from Skyport Marina (23rd St & FDR) to the Statue of Liberty and back. Along this route we can appreciate the spectacular views of New York City's Skyline along with its breathtaking bridges and harbor parks. Aboard you will enjoy a buffet dinner that includes two drinks of your choice, a bottle of water and a live DJ so you can dance the night away.

You are welcome to bring your family and friends to join us for the celebrations!

• Free for all the presenters and staff members of the conference.
• $25 for conference attendees who are not presenters. CLTA-GNY will pay for the balance as well as tax and tips.
