Travel & Palm Springs

The CGA Strategic Conference returns to California! With the conference’s new California location, it’s easier than ever to bring your entire team to learn new insights, network with your colleagues and hold productive meetings involving all the right people.

Getting There

Traveling to Palm Springs is easier than ever thanks to their newly renovated Palm Springs International Airport, located just minutes from downtown Palm Springs and the Convention Center.

The airport is served by numerous carriers from major cities. After landing, getting around is easy too, with a choice of wheels - car rental companies, limousines, shuttles, private cars, taxis and buses are always revved up and ready to go.

Prefer to drive here? Palm Springs is easily accessible via Interstate Highway 10 from the Los Angeles area.
