    Weather

    Late April to early May is spring in Los Angeles, with mild days and cool evenings. Typical daytime highs are about 21-24 C (70-75 F) and overnight lows about 13-16 C (55-60 F); coastal marine layer can keep mornings grey before burning off. Rain is possible but late April to early May is outside the main rainy season. Air-quality readings at forecast time were low (US AQI around 43, PM2.5 around 8.5 micrograms per cubic metre), but sensitive travellers should check local advisories closer to travel. UV can be strong at midday; carry sun protection.

    Plan for the climate

    Check temperatures and pack accordingly

    Venue connectivity

    Downtown Los Angeles has strong coverage from the major US carriers; an eSIM or local prepaid SIM is the simplest way to get data. The convention center may provide Wi-Fi, but assume it will be congested during poster sessions and bring a mobile hotspot for demos. US power is 120 V at 60 Hz with Type A/B plugs, so UK, EU and Australian visitors need an adapter and should check charger voltage. Download the official programme or any meeting app before travel, and keep offline copies of abstracts and maps.

    Ride-hailing

    Taxis

    Public transit

    Car rentals

    Cultural notes

    Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

    Business dress

    Business casual is the norm at AAI scientific sessions; a jacket is optional for evening receptions. Comfortable shoes matter because the convention center and poster halls involve long walks.

    Scientific meeting etiquette

    Arrive on time for sessions, silence phones and use the question microphones. Poster presenters usually stand by their boards during assigned periods; check the programme for exact times.

    Tipping

    US service norms apply: 15-20 percent at restaurants, and a dollar or two per bag for hotel porters. Taxi and rideshare tips are customary but optional.

    Arrival and badge pickup

    Bring a photo ID to registration and keep your badge visible in the convention center. Allow extra time on the first morning for queueing and bag checks.

    Local pace and climate

    Downtown Los Angeles is spread out; plan 15-25 minutes to walk between hotels and the convention center. Mornings can be overcast near the coast, so carry a light layer even on warm days.

    Conversation and networking

    AAI attendees often discuss unpublished data; ask before photographing posters or slides, and respect requests not to share. Exchange contact details rather than relying on business cards alone.

    Practical guides

    Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials

    Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.

    Flights

    Destination: LAX

    Captures for the 30 April-4 May 2027 window show below-usual fares from Sydney, typical pricing from London, and high pricing from New York, where the cheapest booking window has usually been late December to late March. Treat these as directional insights, not quotes. Long-haul attendees should compare nonstop LAX service with one-stop routings into LAX or BUR, and build in 60-90 minutes for LAX immigration and baggage on international arrivals. Fares fluctuate; re-check live prices before booking and avoid tight connections into downtown sessions.

    Transport

    Get to the venue and around the city with these options.

    Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Los Angeles International Airport (LAX): Approx. 25-45 min by road; longer at peak; Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR): Approx. 25-40 min by road; Long Beach Airport (LGB): Approx. 30-50 min by road. Allow road or rail time to Los Angeles Convention Center; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.

    Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Los Angeles Convention Center: Downtown Los Angeles / L.A. LIVE: JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE; Downtown Los Angeles: InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown by IHG; LAX / Century Boulevard: Residence Inn by Marriott Los Angeles LAX/Century Boulevard.

    Ride-hail: Uber and Lyft are widely used across Los Angeles. At LAX, follow signs to the designated rideshare pickup area rather than waiting at the terminal curb; fares to downtown vary with traffic and surge and can be roughly USD 35-60 one way. From downtown hotels to the convention center, a short rideshare is usually unnecessary because most L.A. LIVE properties are walkable, but it can help in rain or with equipment. Confirm the driver and plate before getting in.

    Public transit: Metro rail and bus serve downtown Los Angeles. Pico Station on the E Line is the closest rail stop to the Los Angeles Convention Center, and 7th St/Metro Center connects to the B, D and E lines. Fares are approximately USD 1.75 per boarding with free transfers for a limited window; day and multi-day passes are available. From LAX, the LAX FlyAway bus runs to Union Station, where you can transfer to Metro rail. Service patterns and fares can change, so check the current Metro map and alerts before relying on transit for a timed session.

    Parking: The Los Angeles Convention Center has on-site parking; expect approximate daily rates of USD 25-40, with event-specific pricing and possible pre-booking. Arrive early on peak mornings because nearby garages fill. Confirm current rates, height clearance and entry gates on the venue or organiser site. Rideshare and Metro are simpler if you do not need a car during the meeting.

    Weather

    Plan and pack for the event climate.

    Month: Late April to early May 2027 (spring)

    Temperature: Typical daytime highs 21-24 C (70-75 F); overnight lows 13-16 C (55-60 F). Coastal areas can be cooler in the morning. These are climatological ranges, not a forecast; check live conditions closer to travel.

    Seasonality: Late April and early May are usually outside the main rainy season, so prolonged rain is unlikely. Morning marine layer, sometimes called May gray, can bring overcast skies near the coast before clearing. Carry a compact umbrella only as a precaution.

    Packing: Pack light layers, breathable shirts, comfortable walking shoes and a light jacket or sweater for air-conditioned session rooms and cool evenings. Add sunglasses, sun protection and a refillable water bottle. If you are presenting, bring a USB backup of slides and an adapter for US Type A/B outlets.
