The main reunion will be held in New York on the grounds of the legendary 1964 World’s Fair.
There will also be dozens of simultaneous satellite parties all over the world, from Salt Lake City to Bulgaria, from Texas to New Zealand. If you are interested in being involved in a branch party, please read our Branch Party FAQ and complete the Branch Party Interest Form.

The New York Hall of Science is a 20-minute subway ride from Grand Central Station and offers convenient parking. Among the 450 hands-on, interactive exhibits that will be open to Global Family Reunion attendees:
