Locations
We are thrilled that the Roundtable will be hosted at University of California, Berkeley this year, where it was hosted in 2014 in our third year as a collaborative! That year, Steve Shortell was a member of our host committee, along with Kathy McDonald, Ed Schein, Dominick Frosch, Jim Best, Terry Hill and Thomas Huber. This year, Steve Shortell is joined by Berkeley colleagues Amanda Brewster and Hector Rodriguez, to lead a Host Committee from up and down the West Coast.
Note: We will be meeting two days after the November 5 Presidential Election, in which one of the candidates - Vice President Kamala Harris - spent her childhood in Berkeley in a yellow house on nearby Bancroft Way.
All venues for the Roundtable are located within 3 to 4 blocks of each other. Day 1 we will meet at the Residence Inn Berkeley at 2121 Center Street before heading out to Welcoming Activities. Day 2 we will meet at the Berkeley School of Public Health at 2121 Berkeley Way West. Day 3 we will meet at the Berkeley Residence Inn.
Hotels
Residence Inn Berkeley [marriott.com] is the closest conference hotel, but the Hotel Shattuck Plaza [hotelshattuckplaza.com] is also very nearby, regularly used by the university, and sometimes less expensive. Both are within 3 or 4 blocks from all conference events. Ask about the Berkeley conference rate.
