Describe your event.
It was a 30th anniversary celebration with an exotic travel theme for D1Spas. The event dates were Jan. 23-27.
What did your attendees enjoy the most?
The variety of off-site events and the way we integrated the new products into the theme and venue.
What were some of the unique off-site venues that you used?
USS Midway/Aircraft Carrier Museum, Karl Strauss Restaurant & Brewery in Sorrento Valley and the San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla.
Was anybody particularly helpful?
John Loomis of La Costa Limousine was a standout vendor and should receive a medal of honor for his heroism in the line of duty.
How does San Diego compare to other destinations where you have held meetings?
I’ve held meetings around the globe but nothing compares to the near-perfect weather I can count on in San Diego.
Do you have any advice for other planners considering San Diego for a meeting?
Allocate a few extra days for your site inspections—you’ll need them. Find a local who can show you some of the truly unique and untraditional venues, dining establishments and activities that give San Diego the title of “America’s Finest City.”
