The format of the conference provides morning and evening sessions in which major presentations are made. Available time is included during the afternoons for ad hoc meetings and informal discussions and is designed to enhance rapport among participants and promote dialogue on the developments of the meeting. We believe the conferences have been instrumental in generating ideas and disseminating information to a greater extent than is possible through more conventional forums. All participants are expected to contribute actively to the discussions and speakers are expected to leave at least five minutes of their allotted time for discussion. The Foundation has reserved studio units and rooms within the Executive Lodge.
All rooms have private bath, cable-TV and direct dial phones.
Kitchens, fireplaces, dining areas, lofts and decks or patios are typical of the units. Its recreational facilities include tennis courts, a surrounding par course and outdoor heated pool and hot tub. Off site activities include bicycling, hiking, boat cruises, fishing, golfing, horseback riding and music festivals. Airport access is through Reno Tahoe International Airport. Shuttle transportation is available and reservations are necessary.
