Join us for Urban Exploration > San Diego, Sept 18-21, 2024
Beyond its Mediterranean climate and beaches is the dynamic city of San Diego–an economic engine with high performing biotech, healthcare, and sports entertainment sectors, vibrant promenades, art, parks and a diversity of cultures. Downtown San Diego’s impressive residential growth in the last 20 years looks a lot like Downtown Salt Lake City’s residential trajectory ahead. Join Salt Lake City leaders for an educational exploration of a metropolis that has become a lighthouse of urbanism.
Our base camp is The Guild Hotel, a former YMCA lauded by Vogue and Architectural Digest as a crown jewel in the heart of the city.
