Monterey County CVB Welcomes

CSDA

Hello Megan & Neil,

We look forward to your return to Monterey County!  Thank you for making time to visit and get reacquainted with our properties and destination.

Please know that we’ll be conducting our tours and time together with best practices in accordance with the County and our venues’ COVID-19 protocols. Because of the current status of our region, and to be in accordance with the preference of the venue team members, the sites have been arranged for you and Neil to conduct tours individually with the properties. 

A robust itinerary has been arranged to help you achieve your goals. 

  • Pre-planning for your 2021 Annual Conference to include TriCord and golf tournament/Pacific Grove Golf Links
  • Review the 2023 Annual Conference proposal
  • Visit properties sourced for the 2022 Special District Board Secretary/Clerk Conference RFP
  • Have some down time for personal business
  • Enjoy Monterey

Also please consider dressing in layers since all restaurants are restricted to outdoor dining at this time. 

We invite you to use this microsite not only as a resource for your site inspection, but also as a resource for your future attendees. Let our Strategic Client Services team create a fully custom microsite for your program to help attendees learn about the destination, browse dining and activity listings, as well as access special offers prior to their arrival and while they are here.
