Napa Valley, CA

The venue will be the Silverado Resort in Napa Valley, CA. In addition to the many facilities onsite (including a championship golf course and a world class spa), the resort is proximate to the heart of California wine country. The conference has arranged for the negotiated room rate to be extended for additional days before or after the conference if a conference registrant is interested. Please check for details upon registration. The Silverado Resort is approximately 80 minutes from San Franciso International Airport, depending on time and day of arrival. It is suggested that arrivals be scheduled during off-peak traffic times.
