The Marconi Conference Center is situated on 62 acres of wooded hills overlooking scenic Tomales Bay in Marin County. The California State Parks Foundation acquired the property in 1984 with Buck Trust funds, remodeled it as a conference center, and gave it to the California Department of Parks and Recreation which now operates it as a non-profit facility. The conference center operation enables these grounds to be preserved and protected, while the historical buildings constructed by Marconi await restoration. The lounge area provides games, books and film libraries, snacks and beverages for evening relaxation. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served buffet style.
Some meeting spaces have commanding Bay views, others are in a peaceful forest setting.
Break-out rooms are within each Meeting Pavilion. Mailing Address P.O.

The main building of the Marconi Wireless Station on this site is known as the Marconi Hotel and is destined to become a grand landmark when restoration is finally accomplished. This was quite a remote site in 1914 when the Hotel housed station workers and Marconi guests.
