Pre-Conference Excursion - Walking Tour of Ghiradelli Square and Fisherman's Wharf
Tuesday, June 27, 10:30 am - 1:30 pm
Let’s explore together the essence of hot chocolate, grab sourdough clam chowder bowl, and take a ride on a cable. Meet in the hotel lobby. No RSVP needed. Wear Walking Shoes, and bring money for cable cars ($7 each way) and food.
Opening Reception
Tuesday, June 27, 6 - 7:30 pm
Get connected and inspired at the opening reception by experiencing food, music, and ambiance characteristic of Northern California’s cultural diversity. Cross the bridge into some of San Francisco’s charismatic neighborhoods and experience rich flavors representing fresh seafood of Fisherman’s Wharf, authentic Italian of North Beach, classic tastes from Chinatown, and mouthwatering Latin American tapas from the Mission District. Top off your savory experience with tantalizing selections from San Francisco’s own world-renowned chocolate factory—Ghirardelli Square. Choose from a selection of Californian wines and beers while enjoying the eclectic sounds of The Reggie Graham Project, an instrumental ensemble that has toured internationally with the likes of Dizzy Gillespie, The Ellington Orchestra, and Santa Esmeralda. The reception will take place partially in the beautiful rooftop area of the Fairmont.

Gala Event - Glitter in Gold at the Barbarossa Lounge
Thursday, June 29, evening
From the Gold Rush through the Roaring 20s, the Barbary Coast was San Francisco's swankiest seaside den of entertainment and pleasure! Join MBA CSEA for this year's gala, Glitter in Gold, at the Barbarossa Lounge. The speakeasy will come alive with circus acts, magic, gambling, live music, dancing, and innovative food and cocktails at the open bar - with even more surprises in store.
Dress your best! We're looking for flappers, gamblers, gangsters, barlows, biscuits, big timers, floorflushers, and those who simply glitter in gold: don't miss the party! It'll be the cat's pajamas!
Important - Deadline to register for the Gala is May 24. After that date, we will take additional requests on a space available basis.
