Meeting and Events Space:

 

 

The opening reception and workshop registration will be held on the Village Terrace of the Meeting Village conference center. Talks and discussion will take place in the Agave meeting room. Continental breakfast and buffet lunch will be served in the Ocotillo room. Posters will also be displayed in the Ocotillo and/or the Agave room. The Manzanita boardroom is available to host any breakout sessions or working groups. Weather permitting, the banquet will be held outdoors on the Village Terrace; otherwise, it will be held in the Ocotillo room.
