JETAA North California (JETAANC) will host the 2012 JETAAUSA National Conference in San Francisco, Thursday, 10/26 through Sunday, 10/28.
Please continue to check back here for updates to the conference.
Action items for attending delegates:
- The program will include head shots of all delegates. Please email your picture to Dan and include the dates you were on JET and your town/prefecture placement, no later than Friday, Oct. 5.
- In keeping with national conference tradition, we are also requesting that each chapter bring omiyage (food) from your local area. There will be approximately 60 conference participants. A box or bag of food would be considered just fine–it does not need to be individually wrapped or fancy. We will put the snacks out with a note describing each chapter’s omiyage for everyone at the conference. As with omiyage in Japan, you do not have to spend a lot of money; this is a fun thing that we do to learn a little more about each chapter’s local culture.
Conference Venue
The Conference location will be at the Consulate General of Japan in SF. The address is 50 Fremont Street, SF. It is a short 17 minute walk from the hotel to the CG. See link for directions.

While the hotel offers coupons for breakfast at Lefty O’Doul’s, a restaurant bar around the corner, continental breakfast will be provided at the CG prior to the conference every morning. The conference will last all day Friday and Saturday with breaks in between until around 5:00pm, ending on Sunday around 12:00pm. Please plan your travel accordingly.
