July 2010

Deadlines: Register now for STAND UP!--the 2010 Affirmation Conference. The Early Bird rate ends on July 15th, so register now to get the best possible rate.

Hotel: Be sure to make your hotel reservations separately. If you arrive on Thursday and/or extend your stay til Columbus Day (Monday), the hotel will honor our special conference rate on Thursday (October 7) and Sunday night (October 10).

Arrival & Departure: Find below the preliminary program. We recommend getting flights into San Francisco on Friday, October 8, in time to arrive by 4:00 pm. You won’t want to miss the event planned for Friday night! BART trains provide very easy access from either the San Francisco (SFO) or Oakland (OAK) airports. If you fly back home on Sunday, October 10, try to schedule your flight no earlier than 4:00 pm. The luncheon will be finished by 2:00 pm at the latest and that will provide time to travel to the airport.
