The 2026 OEGlobal Conference will be held at the Samberg Conference Center on the MIT Campus. The Center was named in honor of Arthur and Rebecca Samberg. It was part of a comprehensive renovation of the historic Morris and Sophie Chang Building (E52), an Art Deco treasure overlooking the Charles River on Memorial Drive.

Accessibility: The Venue
Physical Access Points: The Samberg Conference Center is located inside the historic Morris and Sophie Chang Building (Building E52) at 50 Memorial Drive. Because the building faces Memorial Drive, entering through the 25 Wadsworth Street side is highly recommended for accessibility.
The primary wheelchair-accessible route to the MIT Samberg Conference Center is via the 25 Wadsworth Street entrance. Entering at 25 Wadsworth Street provides a smooth, step-free ramp directly into the Sloan/Chang building lobby.
There is also a step-free ramp near the entrance of 50 Memorial Drive that allows access into the Sloan building lobby. At this entrance, you would take a right and follow the corridor to the elevator lobby of the Chang building. Download the Venue Accessibility Map here.
Support Animals: Only service animals (required for those with a disability and trained to perform a task assisting with the disability) are permitted. Emotional support animals are not.
Hearing Support: Any hearing support may be supported through MIT AV, which can confirm their capabilities.
