Suggested dress code for the conference is business casual attire. Conference activities involve sitting for general sessions and workshops in classrooms, walking around to explore Exhibitions, cooking with Culinary Institute of America faculty for workshops in the Hestan Kitchen, and outdoor group fitness walks.
Please note that flat, rubber soled, closed toe shoes and full length pants are required for conference attendees participating in the hands-on kitchen sessions in the Hestan Kitchen.
If you will be participating in the outdoor group fitness walks, please come prepared with layers.
Northern California experiences rain in February at times, so you may want to bring an umbrella to protect yourself from the elements. Our building is often quirky about temperatures in classroom and lecture spaces, both large and small. Please bear with us and come prepared with layers for warmer and cooler environments so that you can adjust your own temperature accordingly.
Please help us in our efforts to be sustainable by bringing a reusable water bottle. Water stations will be available throughout the conference.
