Experience the best of San Francisco during your stay for the conference! Late April/early May brings crisp, clear days, ideal for exploring without the summer crowds!

Here’s a taste of what you can enjoy:

Iconic sightseeing: Walk or bike across the Golden Gate Bridge - morning visits often offer spectacular fog-cleared views. Bay cruises are especially appealing this time of year, offering unique perspectives of Alcatraz and the waterfront.

Cultural attractions: Stroll through Golden Gate Park’s highlights - from the serene Japanese Tea Garden to the lush Botanical Garden—to recharge amid nature.

Arts and community: The San Francisco International Arts Festival blooms in early May with performances and installations throughout the Mission District.

Walkable neighborhoods: Discover In the foodie-friendly Ferry Building, explore buzzing streets like North Beach, and immerse yourself in the historic hills - plus cozy cafes, free museums, and local events all add to the fun.
