Meeting planners consistently choose Monterey County for its inspiring coastal setting, seamless execution and standout hospitality, and their feedback speaks for itself. Here’s what event professionals are saying about hosting successful meetings and events in this iconic Central Coast destination.
"Monterey County truly feels like a little piece of heaven on earth. Hosting our meeting overlooking Monterey Bay, with sea otters and seals just outside, created an inspiring, unforgettable experience for our group. It was nothing short of magical, and I honestly cannot wait to return!"
- Kimberly Kocian, Director, Solo, Small Firm and General Practice Division, American Bar Association
"Year after year, Monterey County delivers for our conference. Its accessibility, near Silicon Valley and supported by regional and international airports, makes travel easy for a global audience, while the destination itself feels like a true escape. The service at venues like Monterey Conference Center is consistently exceptional, and the variety of walkable, unique off-site venues keeps our event fresh. Attendees love it, and many turn the conference into a vacation."
- Josh Henry, Meetings Manager at The International Society for Optics and Photonics (SPIE)
"“The support from local partners, including See Monterey and properties like the Monterey Marriott, made all the difference. The team was responsive, resourceful and truly invested in our success. With incredible off-site experiences, from golf in Pacific Grove to wine tasting in Carmel-by-the-Sea, plus amazing weather, food and scenery, our attendees stayed longer and experienced more. It was an outstanding event from start to finish.”"
- Jennifer Orr, Member Services Manager at North American Equipment Dealers Association (NAEDA)
