you’d like Summit attendees to take
away from your session) • Session Brief (100 words or less – a
general idea of what the workshop is about) • Proposal Description

Opportunities to discuss and share ideas around proposed topic

LOGISTICAL INFORMATION Accommodations We’ve heard from the
locals that finding housing can be a bit tricky here. (It will
likely be sunnier and warmer than most other places in the nation
during that time, so it’s understandable.) The closest
accommodations to campus can be found here.
Suggestions Looking for the closest to campus and most
reasonably priced? Stanford Inn
Desire a close location, a bit more expensive, and family owned?
Coronet Hotel Looking for something close but with a bit more
luxury? Stanford Terrace Inn
Parking and Public Transportation *** Where to go The Staff
Development Summit will be hosted by Stanford University in
Stanford, California. Sessions will be held ***. More details to
assist in getting to sessions will be given to registrants closer
to the start of the Summit. Travel Information The most convenient
airports are San Francisco (SFO) and San Jose (SJO). ***
