The University of San Diego Hospitality Services
Whether planning an event for business or pleasure, for adults or for children, the first thing event planners are tasked with is choosing a geographic location. It is imperative to pick a location that potential attendees will actually want to take the time to travel to. Physical location, climate, convenience, and surrounding cities and attractions all come into play when event planners consider locales. It is a large time and energy commitment for guests to attend an event and planners need to make their event’s location enticing to their guests. Once the city has been chosen, the next step for planners is picking a venue that provides the spaces, technology, accommodations, and culinary offerings that meet their group’s needs. In today’s fast-paced world of events, planners are also demanding an extreme customer service-oriented team to support them. Because of these stringent requirements, planners should seriously consider San Diego, California and the beautiful University of San Diego to hold their events.
