North San Diego as business meeting destinationThink Outside the City…North San Diego County Offers a New Business Meeting Experience!
By Joan Burns, CSEP

Have a Meeting and have a view, too!  Consider North San Diego County for you next Business Conference or Meeting. With plenty of meeting space and a diverse selection of accommodations there is no reason not to enjoy what the area has to offer. Just decide which view will suit you, ocean, mountains or valleys.

QLN Campus - business meeting centerFrom the Exhibit Hall at the Del Mar Fairgrounds with over 55,000 square feet of space to an intimate conference room just steps away from the Oceanside Pier, from the elegance of the Four Seasons Resort in Carlsbad to the rustic beauty of the Hidden Valley Retreat and Spa Conference Center in Escondido, any Meeting Professional will find a venue to meet their needs and accomplish their meeting goals.

North San Diego County is easy to get to.  The area is almost half way between the San Diego International Airport and Orange County John Wayne Airport.  Palomar Airport in Carlsbad can accommodate private jets and offers connections to LAX via United Airlines. Rail service is available through Amtrak and the North County Transit District’s Coaster going North and South and by the Sprinter East and West.  And if you are a sailor by nature you can sail your group to the Oceanside Harbor!

Meeting facilities include:

  • The California Center for the Arts with a 1500 seat Concert Hall and a 408 Theater on site.

  • The Mission San Luis Rey offering a tranquil environment for corporate retreats and brainstorming.

  • Coaster in North San Diego, CaliforniaThe Quantum Learning Center in Oceanside is a 42,000 square feet facility with meeting space for up to 200.

And don’t forget the Teambuilding! From hang gliding off the Torrey Pines Cliffs in La Jolla to Regatta Sailing from the Oceanside Harbor, teams will be excited to participate.  What about surf lessons instead of the ‘board” room? Take a hike in the mountains or hold a scavenger hunt at a historic Spanish Ranch…it is all in North San Diego County.  Conduct a mini Boot Camp with the Marines at MCB Camp Pendleton!

Take the meeting off-site with an exotic dinner at the Wild Animal Park. Plan a reception at one of the beautiful museums or have a dinner aboard a yacht.

Our Mission: Our Mission: "Big Blend Magazine is a company based on the belief that education is the most formidable weapon that can be waged against fear, ignorance and prejudice.
It is our belief that education starts at home and branches outward. Education leads to travel, and travel leads to understanding, tolerance, and appreciation of cultures and customs different to our own, and ultimately to world peace. Our company is further based on the principle that networking, communication, and helping others to promote and market themselves leads to financial stability; thus paving the way to better education, travel, and the spirit of giving back to the community."
