The serene, spectacular natural setting of Fallen Leaf Lake makes Stanford Sierra Conference Center a favorite all-inclusive California conference center resort and retreat location for educational, scientific, social and corporate groups.
Nestled throughout the pines and cedars along the shoreline of Fallen Leaf Lake, a few miles from South Lake Tahoe, are clusters of 2 and 3 bedroom cabins furnished in the rustic style of an alpine resort. Each cabin is equipped with shared bathroom facilities. All rooms have decks with magnificent views of Fallen Leaf Lake and the surrounding Sierra peaks.
The physical isolation of the location and the absence of distractions, such as in-room phones and television sets, encourage extensive interaction among the Workshop attendees.
Lodging can only be provided to registered attendees of IIRW. In accordance with housing rules, no unregistered guests of the attendees are allowed.
The Stanford Sierra Conference Center is located at the far end of Fallen Leaf Lake, several miles from South Lake Tahoe. The nearest major airport is the Reno International Airport.
Flight arrangements into Reno can be made through The IEEE World Travel.
The IEEE Car Rental Discount Program is available worldwide to members and employees of the IEEE.
