Leverage Your Team Strengths

Hospitality in Oakland, CA, and Hotels
One thing I love about Oakland, California is the art and music scene. Oakland is known for its history and specialty in West Coast blues and jazz music, although many genres of music are celebrated there. Oakland also has great restaurants and a wonderful selection of ethnic foods. If you have time after a conference makes sure to check out the Oakland Zoo or the Oakland Aviation Museum. The city also has a great nightlife scene to explore. If you’re more of a nature lover make sure to stop by Redwood Regional Park and Joaquin Miller Park. It’s gorgeous!
