Networking

Both Heather and Mark mentioned the value of networking while participating in a WEI program. We could not agree more!  In fact, our events are designed to allow for time to casually connect with your peers (i.e.; receptions, breaks, lunches and scheduled networking activities).

The networking activities for the 2014 SES are great opportunities to pre-network before the conference, in a relaxed environment. Three California-inspired tours are planned for Wednesday, March 12^th from 1:00 – 4:00 pm. 

San Diego Gas & Electric's World Class Energy Innovation Center Tour - The Energy Innovation Center is a working showcase that demonstrates smart energy initiatives and green building practices, all housed in one unique setting. This 27,000 square foot LEED Platinum center offers visitors a venue for learning and exploring the latest in energy efficiency, renewable energy, smart grid and alternative fuel technologies.

Coronado and Gaslamp Quarter Tour – On your way to the Bay Ferry, your guide will inform you about the history and fun facts about Coronado, the Hotel del Coronado, and the real estate prices on the Crowned Island. Once aboard the Ferry, learn about the Coronado Bridge, the Navy Base, and the various activities of the San Diego Bay.

Old Town San Diego and Balboa Park Tour - Guests are led to Old Town: the Birthplace of California for a historic tour of the very beginnings of San Diego and California. Learn about the first Spanish Missionaries, their victory as Mexicans independent from Spain, and the introduction of American capitalism to the area.

Networking events are a minimal cost, which includes transportation from the hotel and lunch.  Visit the SES Networking page for details. 

See you in San Diego!
