Accommodations and ticket sales

Assembly registration is closed.

Except for commissioners and advisory delegates, advance assembly registration closed on May 5.

If you are planning to attend the assembly as an observer and have not yet registered, you may wait and register on site.  A special on-site registration fee of $20 applies.  Attendees who register on site will receive an official name badge and a General Assembly Program. The on site registration fee is waived for attendees for whom this would be a financial hardship.

Available rooms for observers at the G.A. hotels are filled; you may make your own reservations if you need accommodations in San Jose. One source for assistance is the San Jose Convention and Visitors Bureau Web site.  Hotels near the San Jose airport, especially those located on First Street, will be convenient as there is easy access to downtown via the light rail.

Ticket sales

Advance ticket sales remain open through May 19 and tickets are still available to all but a few of the events and mission tours. 

Remaining tickets for most events will be on sale beginning Friday, June 20 at Assembly Registration in the San Jose McEnery Convention Center (SJCC), but as some of the event sponsors do not make tickets available for sale on site, you are advised to purchase tickets in advance to events you wish to attend.

Review the Schedule of Events for descriptions of the optional ticketed functions.

If you have not previously ordered tickets, you may purchase tickets online.

  • Online – be prepared with your method of payment (AMEX, MasterCard or VISA).

Tickets are distributed with participants’ assembly badges on-site, beginning Friday, June 20.
