Upon drop off, enter in the front lobby of the Luskin Conference Center/Hotel. Walk straight back to the “Registration” for the Centennial Ballroom on the Lobby Level.

For self-parking, the address is:
UCLA Parking Structure 8
555 Westwood Plaza, Los Angeles, CA 90095

For Structure 8, please park in any unreserved permit stalls on levels 1–4 of structure 8. This structure is adjacent to Luskin Conference Center. The cost for event parking is $16.
See attached campus map. To locate Parking Structure 8, enter the campus by heading north on Westwood Boulevard and make a left onto the Structure 8 Driveway (located just before the parking information kiosk on Westwood Boulevard). Proceed to park in any unreserved permit stalls/“Pay-by-Space” parking spots on levels 1–4. After parking, to access the UCLA Luskin Conference Center via the pedestrian walkway/bridge from Lot 8, take the east stairs to Level 3 and cross over Strathmore Place. Please proceed to the Centennial Ballroom Registration Desk.

Parking can be pre-purchased prior to arrival. Completing the registration prior to coming on campus will save you time at the registration desk. We will have volunteers to help on-site but if you can register beforehand, it will save time. The link is live now for all attendees to purchase parking.

There is limited street parking west of the parking structure, as well as in Westwood village. There are also non-UCLA parking lots in Westwood village.

Tickets are now available for purchase online. Tables are available for purchase through one of our sponsorship opportunities or you could purchase an individual ticket. Visit the ticketing page and scroll down to see the individual options.

Individual tickets are $250, which includes the general reception, dinner, and program. $110 is tax-deductible. If you would like to purchase a table, view our Sponsorship Package.
