• For attendees who wish to bring their families, special prices will be available for children along with family-focused activities at both the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Beach House events.
• The Portola Hotel & Spa is conveniently located in the heart of Fisherman’s Wharf and will offer a wonderful space for the industry’s meetings. Due to the Portola Hotel’s supreme location, you may find numerous nearby properties.  As cancellation do occur, signing up for the Portola’s Waitlist is encouraged once our room block is filled.  Should you like to stay elsewhere, there are numerous hotel properties that are located within a short walking distance from the Portola.
