NAAUD Annual Meeting in San Diego April 21-23, 2025 You Asked, NAAUD Listened. (See our “NEW” 3-day agenda below.)

Registration Opens January 2025

NAAUD is excited to announce San Diego, CA as the location for our 2025 Annual Meeting!

When you think of San Diego, you may think of sandy beaches, fish tacos and flip-flops, but his sunny city has a lot more to offer. The heartbeat of every city lives in its downtown, and San Diego is no exception. Located just minutes from the airport, San Diego’s thriving urban center offers an abundance of activities, dining, and cultural attractions, all easily accessible on foot, bike, car, or public transportation. Located directly across the street from NAAUD’s hotel, the Embassy Suites San Diego Bay Downtown, Seaport Village and The Headquarters will beckon you with dozens of dining options and waterfront shopping. The Embarcadero (or “landing place” in Spanish) lines the western edge of downtown. Its boardwalk hugs the San Diego Bay, home to the cruise terminal, the Navy Pier, and The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park, the permanent outdoor home of the San Diego Symphony. Climb aboard to explore the ships at the USS Midway Museum and the Star of India at the Maritime Museum. If a moving sea vessel is more your style, hop on a harbor cruise and explore the bay, while taking in the skyline views. The historic and buzzy Gaslamp Quarter, just a 15-minute walk from the hotel, is known for its vibrant nightlife, Victorian-era architecture, top-rated restaurants, retail destinations and totally unique experiences. You will discover there’s so much to explore within footsteps of our meeting location in 2025.
