Accommodations and ticket sales

Assembly registration is closed.

Except for commissioners and advisory delegates, advance assembly registration closed on May 5.

If you are planning to attend the assembly as an observer and have not yet registered, you may wait and register on site.  A special on-site registration fee of $20 applies.  Attendees who register on site will receive an official name badge and a General Assembly Program. The on-site registration fee is waived for attendees for whom this would be a financial hardship.

Available rooms for observers at the G.A. hotels are filled; you may make your own reservations if you need accommodations in San Jose. One source for assistance is the San Jose Convention and Visitors Bureau Web site.  Hotels near the San Jose airport, especially those located on First Street, will be convenient as there is easy access to downtown via the light rail.

Ticket sales

Remaining tickets for most events will be on sale beginning Friday, June 20, at Assembly Registration in the San Jose McEnery Convention Center (SJCC), but as some of the event sponsors do not make tickets available for sale on site, you are advised to purchase tickets in advance to events you wish to attend.

Review the Schedule of Events for descriptions of the optional ticketed functions.

Tickets are distributed with participants’ assembly badges on site, beginning Friday, June 20.

Deadlines
May 29:  cancellation deadline (registration fees, less a $10 fee, will be refunded if notice of cancellation is received by this date.)

Hotel Assignment and confirmation
Attendees who completed their registration on or before May 5 will receive a registration confirmation and housing confirmation from the G.A. Meeting Service. 

Hotel Transportation
No convention center shuttles are provided for the six downtown hotels.

A light rail system has stops at the convention center and the Wyndham and Holiday Inn in uptown, providing easy and quick transportation at any time, for a fare of $1.75. 
Assembly shuttles will operate to the uptown hotels when there are evening sessions and committee meetings, and the light rail schedule is reduced.
