Ah, the Good life. California is definitely the place to experience it. Whether you’re indulging in celebrity chef delicacies, sipping a zesty zinfandel, kayaking along the dramatic coast or meandering through magnificent museums, the Golden State is bursting at the seams with cuisine, culture, nature and adventure.
For this year’s supplement, California native Maria Lenhart taps into the many interesting ways groups can experience the state’s riches, while also examining the generous uptick in meetings business and tourism, and the ever-expanding portfolio of facilities.
In “Terrific Tastes,” Lenhart covers trendy new restaurants and cooking schools, in addition to wineries, breweries and distilleries that are blazing new trails.
“Naturally California” examines the state’s eco-conscious and adventurous offerings for groups, from active pursuits to sustainable venues.
In “Destinations to Discover,” planners will find plenty of ways to explore three up-and-coming gems: Pasadena, Pacifica and Redondo Beach, while “Night Moves” profiles top places to entertain groups after sunset, and “Hot on the Hotel Scene” sheds light on California’s newest and recently upgraded properties, as well as its expanding convention centers.
Be sure to check out the digital edition of Meetings Focus California 2013 for a slide show on California-made products that can be given as attendee gifts, as well as other exclusive digital content.
Enjoy this year’s supplement. When it comes to memorable gatherings, California knows no bounds!
