How Do I Get To The Venue From My Hotel?

Question

What Is The Weather Like In Palm Springs?

Answer

Due to its desert location, Palm Springs is very warm during the day--and then the temperature drops at night. Late October weather is typically in the 80s by day and the 60s and during the evening. We encourage you to pack a sweater, a swimsuit and enjoy the sunshine during your stay!
