ATTENDEE ROOM
The Devonshire Room in the hotel’s Executive Conference Center (the old Meeting House) has
been set aside as a “no-host” gathering room during the ICMCTF 2012. The room will provide
space for attendees to mingle with exhibitors, family members and companions.
We hope you enjoy the Conference, and take some time to experience the attractions of San Diego.
