Things To Do

Lunch Cruise

On Friday, July 8, ICMPC14 will break at 12:30 pm for excursions. This will be a great opportunity to explore San Francisco and the surrounding bay area. To start off the excursions, ICMPC14 is organizing an optional conference lunch cruise through Hornblower Cruises. Tickets for the lunch cruise may be purchased through the registration portal when you register for the conference. If you already registered but would like to join the cruise, please contact Kerry Bosch (kbosch@taramillerevents.com). Lunch cruise tickets will be for sale until June 17, at which time we will need a final head count and no additional tickets will be sold.

Boarding for the lunch cruise begins at 1:15 pm and will depart promptly at 1:30 pm from Pier 3 (see map below). Do not be late! We will be cruising on the San Francisco Spirit's main deck around the San Francisco Bay, with views that include Alcatraz, Bay Bridge, Golden Gate Bridge and the San Francisco skyline. Lunch will be a buffet consisting of both vegetarian and carnivorous options.
