Key speakers include:

  • Scott Aughenbaugh, deputy director of strategic futures at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
    • Demographics, resource management, computing, data/information growth, social media, effects of economic integration and emerging security challenges – used to forecast global trends.

    • Current strategies to ensure smooth and efficient West Coast port operations in the future.

The Park Hyatt Aviara Resort, approximately 30 miles north of San Diego, sits atop a high ridge on the shore of Batiquitos Lagoon, a beautiful wildlife sanctuary overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Amenities of the hotel include a spa, an Arnold Palmer-designed golf course, swimming pools and numerous restaurant options. It is also just a quick, 15-minute drive to the quaint beachside towns of Carlsbad and Encinitas.

We look forward to seeing you in Carlsbad to celebrate this milestone. Register by Oct. 4 to receive the discounted meeting rate!
