Did You Know . . .

San Diego in history:

  • Ranking San Diego:
  • Second largest city in California
  • Eight largest city in the U.S.
  • One of two best summer climates in America as scored by the Weather Channel.
  • 18th most walkable major city in U.S. according to Walk Score.

 

Aviation in San Diego:

San Diego has one of the richest aviation heritages of any city in the country. Convair, home of such famous aircraft as the B-24 Liberator and the PBY Catalina, was founded here. Ryan Aeronautical, home of Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis, was located here, and North Island Naval Air Station is the home of naval aviation. Much of that knowledge is captured and conveyed through the San Diego Air & Space Museum, a major institution unique to the region and one of the preeminent aviation museums in the nation.

Closing Night Event

Be prepared to have a good time on Wednesday, Oct. 19, at the closing night event of the ACI-NA 20th Annual Conference and Exhibition. Join our 2012 Annual conference host Calgary as we get a sneak peak at all that it has to offer during the first hour of the evening, at our Calgary-themed reception. This year’s closing night event will be held at the brand new Port Pavilion on Broadway Pier.

The venue, which is San Diego’s newest event facility, features views of Coronado, San Diego International Airport and downtown San Diego will provide the setting for an unforgettable closing night event. Bring your dancing shoes and enjoy the California surfing sounds of Woodie & the Longboards as we spend the remainder of the evening celebrating “under the boardwalk” in a carnival like setting.
