CONFERENCE INFORMATION<br />
San Francisco,<br />
California Tourism<br />
San Francisco is <strong>of</strong>ten called “Everybody’s Favorite City,” a title earned by<br />
its scenic beauty, cultural attractions, diverse communities, and worldclass<br />
cuisine. This walkable city is dotted with landmarks like the Golden<br />
Gate Bridge, cable cars, Alcatraz, and the largest Chinatown in the United<br />
States. A stroll <strong>of</strong> the city’s streets can lead you to Union Square, the<br />
Italian-flavored North Beach, Fisherman’s Wharf, the Castro, Japantown,<br />
and the Mission District, with intriguing neighborhoods to explore at every<br />
turn. The city is home to world-class theatre, opera, symphony, and<br />
ballet companies and <strong>of</strong>ten boasts premieres <strong>of</strong> Broadway-bound plays<br />
and culture-changing performing arts. San Francisco is one <strong>of</strong> America’s<br />
greatest dining cities. The diverse cultural influences, proximity <strong>of</strong> the<br />
freshest ingredients, and competitive creativity <strong>of</strong> the chefs result in<br />
unforgettable dining experiences throughout the city. San Francisco has<br />
hotels with first-class amenities, ultra-chic boutique hotels, and many<br />
familiar names in lodging.<br />
Beyond the Golden Gate...<br />
Food and wine enthusiasts agree that the wines, food, and scenery<br />
are world-class in the golden hills <strong>of</strong> Napa Valley, but scenic Sonoma<br />
(California’s first wine country) <strong>of</strong>fers visitors a more intimate wine tasting<br />
experience along rambling country roads. Talk with a winemaker, do<br />
a barrel tasting, take a tram ride through vineyards; the options are as<br />
endless as your tastes! Sonoma is a mere 45 miles from San Francisco.<br />
Muir Woods is less than half an hour north <strong>of</strong> San Francisco and is host<br />
to a grove <strong>of</strong> coast redwoods, as well as tanoaks, bigleaf maples, and<br />
California Bay laurels. The park features a lighthouse, lagoons, sandy<br />
beaches, dramatic cliffs, and coastal dunes. Mt Tamalpais is a mere<br />
2,600 feet, but the state park surrounding “Mount Tam” is home to 200<br />
miles <strong>of</strong> hiking trails and is considered the birthplace <strong>of</strong> mountain biking.<br />
The charming communities <strong>of</strong> Monterey, Carmel, and Pacific Grove are<br />
approximately a 2 hour drive south <strong>of</strong> San Francisco. The Monterey<br />
Peninsula is home to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Pebble Beach<br />
Golf Course.<br />
Big Sur is a 90-mile stretch <strong>of</strong> coastline starting about 160 miles south<br />
<strong>of</strong> San Francisco, between Carmel and San Simeon, and wedged<br />
between the dramatic Pacific Ocean coastline and the Santa Lucia<br />
Mountains. It is famous for being home to a forest <strong>of</strong> California redwood<br />
trees as well as the Bixby Bridge, Pfeiffer Beach, Jade Cove, and the<br />
McWay Cove Waterfall. Big Sur Village, the one “town” in the 90-mile<br />
stretch <strong>of</strong> the Big Sur coastline, is considered one <strong>of</strong> the most romantic<br />
places in the whole state.<br />
