What to expect/pack
Dress attire is business casual for both the conference and the Monterey Bay Aquarium reception. As you can see above on the 7-day weather forecast, the weather is projected to be "California Chilly" - mid-60's during the day and in the 50's in the evening. Wear comfortable shoes and bring layers of clothes. The property has walking trails and there are trails along the ocean. The majority of our programming will be indoors, but please note, 2 out of the 3 dinners will be outside in the evening, we advise you to pack a warm jacket, a scarf, and maybe a warm hat/beanie.
In the plenary sessions, we will have the windows and doorways cracked open to create additional airflow, so dress warm.
