SimBuild 2008

 

IBPSA-USA will hold its third national conference from July 30 to August 1, 2008 on the campus of the University of California at Berkeley. The format will be similar to the two previous SimBuild conferences held at the University of Colorado at Boulder in 2004 and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2006.

 

The meeting is open to all, world-wide. Being near San Francisco, Berkeley is a convenient destination for travelers from major cities in the U.S. and in many other countries.  U.C. Berkeley is the oldest campus of the University of California system, which also operates the well-known Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the Lawrence Hall of Science, the Space Sciences Laboratory, and the U.C. Botanical Garden. The city of Berkeley contains a variety of neighborhoods with diverse character and excellent restaurants.  The "Bay Area" is full of visitor attractions accessible within 20 minutes, such as the city of San Francisco, scenic mountains, and rich architecture (including the Frank Lloyd Wright Civic Center).  Numerous wineries are within one hour travel to the Napa and Sonoma valleys, where wine-tasting tours are available.
