MEMORABLE EVENTS
WASH ASHORE ON
THE CENTRAL COAST
BY Refugio Garcia
T
he Central California coastline is perhaps the
most iconic in the state and no area better
exemplifies that natural beauty than Monterey
County-home to Monterey, Big Sur, and CarmelBy-The
Sea. Monterey offers endless outdoor
activities, gorgeous site-seeing, dining, shopping
and much more.
Steeped in California's rich history, Monterey was
founded in 1770 and named the capital of Alta California,
which was originally governed by Spain and
later by Mexico, influencing the local aesthetic with
classic Spanish Colonial architecture, seen in local
churches, for example, dating back to the missions
built under the direction of St. Junipero Serra.
Monterey County provides meeting profs ample
opportunity to host attendees at numerous high-end
venues equipped with plenty of meeting space and
luxury amenities, all near all the awe-inspiring attractions
and diverse activities the area has to offer.
GETTING THERE
The Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International
Airport (SJC) is the largest travel hub near Monterey,
located 75 miles north of the city with direct
flights connecting from all over the U.S. However,
the Monterey Regional Airport (MRY) is just over
four miles from the downtown area but has limited
lift, with direct flights arriving from other California
airports, Phoenix, Seattle, Denver, Las Vegas and
Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW).
CONFER BY THE SEA
Monterey County is home to numerous luxury
hotels and resorts, suitable for groups of various
sizes with locations that allow planners to shape
meetings around specific goals and incentives. The
naturally beautiful backdrop provided by Monterey
Bay has spurred a heightened environmental
consciousness among area venues to support
efforts in sustainability.
Located in the center of downtown Monterey,
Monterey Conference Center offers two floors of
flexible meeting space boasting more than 40,000
sq. ft. across three larger ballrooms and several
smaller breakout and meeting rooms. Food and
Beverage at the conference center is exclusively
supported by Marriott Monterey, an adjoining
hotel, offering full banquet menus and an additional
16,500 sq. ft. of flexible meeting space
