California Healthcare Interpreting Association

Our Venue

CHIA's 16th Annual Educational Conference will take place aboard the historic Queen Mary.

The grand ocean liner ferried passengers between New York, Southampton, England, and Cherbourg, France throughout the mid-20th Century. Now it is a hotel unlike any other. The Queen Mary is the events center of Long Beach, and we are thrilled to bring our annual event to one of America's landmarks.

Room Reservation

We have secured a limited number of one- and two-bed rooms aboard the Queen Mary at price levels ranging from $149-$179. We strongly recommend that you make your reservation as soon as you can. Call 1-877-342-0742 to make your reservation. IMPORTANT: You must mention that you are with the "California Healthcare Interpreting Association" to receive the block rate.

Parking for those staying aboard is available at the discounted rate of $12 per night.
