CSNO Conference experiences
Dear CSNO member,
Your feedback is important. CSNO makes every effort to create optimal professional learning State conferences based upon member feedback. Prior to COVID, CSNO conference attendance was 635 (Anaheim) and 545 (Monterey), respectively. Long time ago, we would rotate sections for conference locations, however CSNO has simply 'outgrown' some marketplaces because of the size. While convention centers can be used (like in Riverside) most of them are pricy and minimally cost $15,000-$20,000 just to unlock the door. As a result, conferences now rotate between Northern and Southern California, depending on location availability and pricing. In collaboration with Meetingwise our conference planner, CSNO selects conference sites 2-5 years in advance. Given we are looking ahead to our 75th anniversary, we have some decisions to make. Many professional organizations have dropped amenities (food and beverages) to save costs. CSNO would like your input on these decisions. Please take a few minutes to complete this survey. Data will be aggregated and shared with the Conference planning committee. Thank you for your time.
