The conference site Asilomar is a wonderful recreational historic centre with high end meeting capabilities located directly at Pebble beach, Monterrey Peninsula in California. Nestled along the shoreline of California's famed Monterey Peninsula, Asilomar is a tranquil ocean front retreat cradled by forests and white sand beaches.
Designed by acclaimed architect Julia Morgan and embracing the Arts & Crafts architectural style, Asilomar harmonizes with its natural surroundings and has played host to thousands of visitors since its founding in 1913. Rich with history, scenic beauty and serenity, Asilomar is the ideal location for group meetings, corporate retreats, weddings, family reunions and vacation getaways. Not only will the beautiful site stimulate the scientific spirit of the meeting but also the extremely high level of scientific quality of presenters and the innovative character of the topics.
