Asilomar Conference Ground Resources

What to Expect/Pack

The conference dress code is business casual. In late March, Monterey typically experiences cool, coastal spring weather—expect daytime highs in the 50s–60s °F and chilly evenings. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes for walking and packing layers, as temperatures can shift quickly with ocean breezes.

The property itself has walking trails, and the surrounding area offers beautiful coastal paths along the ocean. To stay comfortable outdoors, we suggest bringing a warm jacket, a scarf, and perhaps a hat or beanie for added warmth.
