CONFERENCE REGISTRATION:
The 24th Annual IASD Dream Conference will be held on the campus of Sonoma State University, located an hour north of San Francisco, California, in beautiful wine country.
This year’s conference includes morning and afternoon Pre-Conference Workshops on Friday; keynote speakers and daily receptions throughout the conference; a dream-related art exhibit; a special-event Wine-Tasting at the Art Reception; the celebratory end-of-conference Dream Ball; and an option for an extended day post-conference to enjoy July 4th in Sonoma.
Single Day Registrations
Are you unable to attend for more than one or two days? We highly recommend that you pre-register by choosing the single day drop down registration option on the on-line Kintera form. You may register on-site if space is available for single day as well. The rates are $140 / day for IASD members, $160/day for non-members. Note that a Saturday one-day registration permits you to attend the Friday night keynote as well. Also since Campus housing and meal tickets are only available in 5 day packages, those registering for single days would have to stay in one of the many area hotels. There are some places where meals can be purchased on or near campus.
CAMPUS LODGING & MEAL RESERVATIONS:
Campus lodging is provided in Sauvignon Village, a two-story cluster of town-house apartments off the green, adjacent to the Cooperage, where the main conference events will be held. Lodging includes four locked bedrooms (singles and doubles) with private baths; living room; and kitchen. High-speed internet access is available – note that you must provide your own Ethernet cable to hook up. The lodging – meal package provides for one set of bed linens & towels, soap, parking, and three meals a day beginning with lunch on Friday. Attendees should bring their own personal items, such as hangers, drinking cup, clock, extra towel, shower cap, hair dryer, lotion, shampoo, shower gel, etc. Please note that no hangers are provided!
Conference attendees staying on campus sign up for the five-day lodging - meal package, with all meals provided in the Zinfandel Dining Commons. Zinfandel provides a selection of food for all nutritional orientations, vegan included. Attendees not staying on campus have access to two small on-campus eateries, Charlie Brown’s for breakfast and lunch, and the Grill (an outdoor summer grill) for lunch, as well as neighborhood eateries (Shangri-la for Nepalese food, Taco Bell, a juice bar, and a Starbucks) across the street from campus. Due to space issues, those not registering for the on-campus lodging – meal package will not have access to the Zinfandel Dining Commons for meals during the conference.
DISCOUNTED DOUBLE LODGING RATES:
Discounted rates are offered for double occupancy for attendees that have a partner or roommate, or who wish to have a roommate assigned. If you have a partner joining you in the room then both persons, whether attending the conference or not, should register separately to ensure that meals and rooms are reserved under each name. Specify double occupancy on both forms, and each person should place the name of the roommate on the form so that we can match roommates. If your partner or roommate is not registering for the conference, they should note that on the registration form (check the box) and register only for the lodging-meal package and other events they wish to join with you. If you wish to have a roommate assigned, note that in space for the roommate name. Please note that if you are staying for pre-conference and/or post-conference days, you will be staying in the same room as your full-conference stay. If your full-conference roommate does not attend these days, you will be charged for the room at the single rate.
PRE-CONFERENCE SESSIONS NEW THIS YEAR:
If you would like intensive training in skills or knowledge related to dreams, we are offering three morning and three afternoon pre-conference workshops. Go to the Program and Schedule for detailed information. You may register for either the morning or afternoon, or both and attend any of the sessions available at those times. If you have already registered for the main conference, or have not made up your mind on pre-conference, you may come back later and add the pre-conference.
PRE-CONFERENCE LODGING:
Attendees who wish to attend the pre-conference sessions may register for pre-conference housing, which is separate from the full-conference package. Only those registering for the on-campus full-conference lodging - meal package can register for pre-conference housing. Lodging will be in the Sirah housing cluster in Sauvignon Village, adjacent to the Cooperage, and will be in the same room as the full-conference stay—so if you’re registering for single or double full-conference housing, you must register for the same in pre-conference housing in order to maintain the same room. If your full-conference roommate does not attend these days, you will be charged for the room at the single rate. The package of one set of bed linens and towels, soap, and parking begins on the pre-conference day Thursday, and extends to the checkout at the end of the conference. Meals in Zinfandel Dining Commons are not provided during the pre-conference stay (meals begin with Lunch on Friday).

CONFERENCE COSTS AND DETAILS
SONOMA WEATHER:
The weather in Sonoma is hot and dry in the summer. Daily temperatures can rise into the 80’s to high 90’s, thus all event spaces are air conditioned. Evening fog brings nighttime temperatures typically in the 60s to low 70s, thus guest rooms are not air conditioned but do remain cool and comfortable in the dry climate.
