Global Forum FAQs
Do I need a ticket to attend?
Yes. The Global Forum is invitation-only, and all attendees must register. If you are interested in attending, please contact global.forum@onemind.org. This event is not open to the public, and space is limited. Registration to the event is free, but attendees are responsible for their travel and lodging.
Which airport is best, how do I get to Napa, and where do I stay?
This year’s Global Forum will take place at the Archer Hotel Napa in downtown Napa. For reservation ease, a room block has been secured and a booking link will be shared shortly.
RESERVE YOUR ROOM BEFORE APRIL 11, 2025, TO SECURE THE DISCOUNTED RATE.
The Archer Hotel Napa is located 60 miles north of the city of San Francisco but easily accessible for visitors arriving at the San Francisco (SFO) and Oakland (OAK) airports, as well as the Santa Rosa (STS) and Sacramento (SMF) airports. To get to the forum, we suggest renting a car, booking a shuttle service, or using a rideshare app like Lyft or Uber.
Transportation will be provided by One Mind at Work for the Monday evening reception and the dinner on Tuesday evening.
Can I bring a guest?
You may request to register a guest, but we cannot guarantee that space will be available. We will maintain a waitlist up until the day of the event and will release tickets as they become available.
Is there press or photography at the event?
The Global Forum operates under the Chatham House Rule, so there will not be press at the event, and no comments or statements will be directly attributed to an attendee without their explicit approval. We hire a professional photographer and publish a summary of the event that will be distributed to all attendees and published online.
Are meals included?
We will provide breakfast and lunch on Tuesday and Wednesday. We will host a members-only reception on Monday evening, and speakers and attendees are invited to dinner on Tuesday evening at the Staglin Family Vineyard. We would like to ask all attendees to confirm their plans for Monday and Tuesday evenings during registration so we can plan accordingly.
What is the dress code?
Most attendees dress in business attire for the forum, slightly more casually than in an office meeting (ties and suits are unnecessary). Remember that Napa in May can be warm during the day, but the venue will have air conditioning. Dress for the speaker and attendee dinner is typically “business cocktail” – but there is no need to change between the forum and dinner unless it is your preference.
