Easter Island Conference

8th International Conference

on Easter Island and the Pacific

Hyatt Vineyard Creek Hotel & Spa

Santa Rosa, California

July 8-13, 2012

Savor the romance and charm of a Tuscan villa set in the heart of Sonoma Wine country at the Hyatt Vineyard Creek Hotel and Spa, where lush gardens are filled with aromatic lavender, wisteria and roses and glasses are filled with the best reds and whites of the celebrated California wine valleys. By day you will be captivated by scholarly musings on the people, culture, archaeology and environmental changes in the South Pacific. By night, you can explore the myriad fine-dining and boutique shopping opportunities in nearby Railroad Square, the historic heart of Santa Rosa’s “Old Town” and a bastion of authentic ambiance. Of course, no trip to Sonoma County would be complete without savoring the local vintages and during your stay the possibilities are endless.

The registration includes three full days of scholarly papers; keynote conference speaker, renowned Professor Patrick Kirch; first evening wine tasting in the lush hotel gardens; Welcome Banquet with wine and a talk by Professor Grant McCall of The University of New South Wales.

But there’s more. Be sure and go to the optional events page to see the specials created especially for this conference.
