The Anaheim Summer Institute takes place across two venues. Your Community of Practice, Site Team meeting, General Session, and hotel may be at different locations. To find out each event’s location, log in to the AVID Event app with your MyAVID credentials or check your printed badge prior to the event.

• Anaheim Convention Center
• Hilton Anaheim

Your name badge is required for all Summer Institute activities. There are two ways to get your name badge: print at home or print on-site. Pick up your lanyard at your CoP room on Day 1.

Important Reminder

Your Community of Practice is listed first because that is where you will begin your day. The second listing is your Site Team location.

Note for Day 1:

• Go directly to your CoP location by 8:00 am.
• A grab-and-go breakfast will be available near your CoP.
• You will receive a lanyard and badge holder at your CoP location.

A grab-and-go breakfast will be provided near your Community of Practice location on the first day of Summer Institute. As a reminder, refer to your name badge for your Community of Practice location. We also provide morning coffee breaks each day and an afternoon break on Day 2.

While the majority of our partner hotels offer complimentary Wi-Fi and other amenities, we recommend verifying this at the time of check-in.
