VENUE INFORMATION AND HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS  

The 2024 Annual Meeting will be held at the extremely spacious, and dog friendly, DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Sonoma Wine Country in Rohnert Park, CA. The hotel is located on 22 acres with views of the surrounding Sonoma Mountains.  Rooms have a coffee maker, safe, and mini-refrigerator.  There is a golf course, 8 pickleball courts (free gear provided), a year round outdoor heated pool and hot tub, as well as a fitness center, lawn games, a billiard table and walking trails. Only 30 minutes to the Sonoma coast, Bodega Bay and the redwood forest and close to over 450+ world class wineries, craft breweries and distilleries to visit.  The hotel has abundant, cozy and casual seating, as well as many fireplaces both indoors and out for catching up and networking with friends. 

We have pre-purchased a *limited* block of hotel rooms and we hope you will book a room so we meet our contractual agreement.

At this time, our room block at the Sonoma Wine Country DoubleTree Hotel is sold out. We bought out the entire hotel, aside from a few rooms that weren’t available for us to book.  We cannot add more rooms to our block.  However, please keep checking the DoubleTree link below (up through January 14 when the rate expires) as we expect hotel cancellations from CA State employees cannot travel in the next budget cycle due to budget constraints in the State of California.   Our 2024 meeting has seen larger demand than ever before.  It’s going to be a great conference!
