Welcome Conference Attendees

With the Conference less than a week away, all the info you need to know can be found on our website, www.CaliforniaWomen.org.  A few important things we want to emphasize:

• The Conference will begin promptly at 8:30 am.  Come early (starting at 7:00 am), enjoy our complimentary continental breakfast and get a jumpstart on our fabulous Exhibit Hall (photo of Exhibit Hall included)!  You won’t want to miss this opening session with speeches by Suze Orman, Martha Stewart and First Lady Maria Shriver. 

• Admission badges were mailed on September 14 by U.S. mail to the address you provided.  If you do not receive your badge by September 20, please contact Conference Registration immediately.  Badges are your admission ticket to the Conference and to all Conference events.  They are not replaceable.

• Wear comfortable clothes and shoes!  Attendees usually wear business casual or casual attire.  The Convention Center is a large facility so comfortable walking shoes are a must. 

• Please limit yourself to a moderately sized bag/purse. You will receive a Conference gift bag once you arrive and can use it to put all of your goodies you get from the Exhibit Hall and other program materials.

• Afternoon of Compassion: The main stage session in the afternoon will feature the presentation of the Minerva Awards and remarks by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Your all-day conference pass will admit you into this afternoon session.

• The Conference’s main stage sessions will be available to all Californians through a free live Webcast streamed from the Conference Web site. Virtual attendees will be able to experience inspirational speeches from our roster (link to agenda) of world-renowned speakers.  Tell friends and family who can’t come to Long Beach that they can attend the Conference virtually by going to www.CaliforniaWomen.org on Tuesday, September 26th!
