If you are flying in through the San Jose or San Francisco Airports, it is recommended that you take the Monterey Airbus — now called Groome Transportation — to Monterey. Information on the shuttle can be found here.
Map of Monterey
Here is a map of Monterey and the surround cities. The pink circled areas are locations of hotels that are within walking distance of MIIS. The purple circled areas are locations of well-priced hotels, but require a car to get to and from MIIS campus.
Other cities surrounding Monterey, including Pacific Grove, Pebble Beach, and Seaside, may be good options for lodging as well.
The opening/closing sessions, plenary sessions, and coffee and snacks will be in the McCone building on MIIS campus (499 Pierce St, Monterey, CA 93940).
