2024 ADS Summer Symposium
Family Events & Information
The Grand Hotel requires proper attire in the hotel's Conference Center, where we will be serving all breakfasts, lunches and coffee breaks during meeting hours. All individuals participating in the conference and conference food breaks are required to follow the Conference Center dress code, as other programming is scheduled at the venue. This includes all individuals being fully covered and no swimsuits or bare feet are allowed in the Conference Center.
All guests who wish to attend the meals in the Conference Center must register additionally for a Guest Meal Wristband. We understand this is a change from the years past, so we have added some exciting family events where wristbands will not be required and swimsuits and bare feet are encouraged!
We look forward to welcoming your family and guests to the Grand Hotel Golf Resort & Spa!
