Los Angeles Travel Tips for Directors Attending the 2013 Leadership Conference

Many members of the UnitWise family, including a few of the Heroes, will be travelling to Los Angeles, CA for the Mary Kay Leadership Conference 2013.   Navigating a new city can be difficult, so we have put together a list of some Travel Tips to help you get around LA !




Getting Around
If you didn't bring your Pink Cadillac to Los Angeles, or would like to avoid LA's infamous Rush Hour traffic, you can use their Metro Subway System.  This is the most efficient & cost effective way to travel in such a big city, and most lines are open until the late hours of the night.  Since the LA Convention Center is a central location in downtown LA, you will be able to catch a train to nearly any area of the city from one of the many Metro Stations nearby.

Where Am I?
Since most of your time will be spent at the Los Angeles Convention Center, you should know what's nearby.  The Convention Center is positioned among some of the city's top attractions.  The Staples Center is less than a stones throw away, as is the Nokia Theatre & L.A. Live.  With these enormous venues so close together, there is always something going on.  In fact, The People's Choice Awards was held during the first day of Leadership this year & several Mary Kay Directors have spotted various stars on their way to the red carpet.

What to Eat?
There nearly no limit on the number of food varieties that you can find in LA.  Whether you would like to visit the historic LA cafe: Philippe or even an exotic European Grill like Wurstküche, Los Angeles has something to suit your appetite.  You can even look as close as L.A. Live, which is home to more than 20 restaurants.

Of course, one of the most important things to do while you are in Los Angeles is to visit the UnitWise Heroes in booth 153 of the Event Deck Tent at L.A. Live.  After you come visit our booth, tell us about it on Facebook or Twitter!  Don't forget to Take a picture with the Heroes and Tag "UnitWise" on Facebook!
