"Beat Generation Conference"
The Beat Generation Conference was a weeklong conference, May 17-22, 1994, comprised of poetry readings, performances, and panel discussions, organized by NYU, with events at both New York's Town Hall and NYU.

Participants included beat poets Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso, Michael McClure, Anne Waldman, and many others.

The conference's marquee event, the Town Hall performance of May 18th, included readings by Corso and Lawrence Ferlinghetti, a conversation between Ed Sanders and William S. Burroughs, and a performance by Ray Manzarek of The Doors and Michael McClure.

At NYU and offsite venues including the Newyorican Café, poets from Louisville, Kentucky (sponsored by Rant Magazine) and from Naropa's Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics gave poetry readings and performances.
