News articles regarding the conference


Since 1990, the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies (IGS) has brought the top advisors on the California gubernatorial campaigns to the Berkeley campus (along with a select audience of political insiders, pollsters and journalists) for a thorough, open and candid post-election debriefing. The recall election is an extraordinary political event that deserves a review of its own. This event is organized into two sessions. The first session runs from 9 am to 4 pm in the Lipman Room (8th Floor of Barrows Hall). The second sessions runs from 4 to 6 pm in the Seaborg Room of the Men’s Faculty Club.

Both sessions are by invitation only.
