When gold was discovered just thirty miles east of Sacramento in 1848, fortune hunters came from all over to strike it rich in Sacramento! History comes to life through interactive experiences on steam engine train rides, tours of the State Capitol Building, and historic museum tours. Its amenities, combined with the rich history of California's Wild West, help visitors once again Discover Gold in California's Capital City. Step back in time to the California Gold Rush era in Old Sacramento, a 28-acre town of historic buildings, museums and monuments. With strong preservation efforts, the wooden sidewalks, horse-drawn carriages, Pony Express monuments and Mississippi-style riverboats reflect the nostalgic appeal of early American history. Located in Northern California, Sacramento is less than a 2-hour drive from San Francisco, Napa Valley, and Lake Tahoe. Sacramento International Airport is served by more than a dozen airlines and 150+ daily flights, and the airport is located less than 15 minutes from downtown. The conference will be held at the Holiday Inn Capitol Plaza in downtown Sacramento. For additional information on Sacramento, visit www.sacramentocvb.org.
