Cutting edge pre-conference intensives, seminars and workshops, hospital tour, and even the less formal networking events will offer unparalleled educational opportunities.

When planning your schedule, remember to carve out time for reconnecting with friends and family; be sure to take advantage of a free evening on Saturday to explore one of San Diego’s many world class attractions.
