ARRIVAL & VALET DETAILS FOR TONIGHT!
The Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center is a large complex, and we discovered that the 300 E. Ocean Blvd. address DOES NOT lead you directly to our event entrance. To make your arrival as easy as possible, we’ve put together more specific directions below.
Arriving at Valet
Valet is located at the roundabout near S. Hart Place & E Seaside Way. This is what it looks like. Here are a few pin drops for GPS:
Walking from The Westin
Cross Ocean Boulevard and walk toward the Long Beach Terrace Theatre.
Two check-in locations will be available, one for guests arriving from valet and one for guests arriving from The Westin / Ocean Boulevard.
Weather
It is expected to be warm, approximately 80 degrees. The Welcome Reception will be outdoors. Fans, shade, and a cooling retreat will be available for your comfort.
