About San Diego
Nestled in the heart of Mission Valley, the Town and Country Resort offers convenient access to some of San Diego’s most iconic destinations. Known for its year round sunshine, coastal views, and laid back energy, San Diego blends vibrant city life with relaxed beach culture, making it an ideal setting to connect, recharge, and explore.
Just minutes from the resort, you will find Old Town San Diego State Historic Park, where California’s early history comes to life through preserved buildings, local shops, and authentic Mexican cuisine. A short drive takes you to Balboa Park, home to world class museums, gardens, and the San Diego Zoo. For waterfront dining and harbor views, head to Seaport Village or the Embarcadero.
If you have extra time, explore the Gaslamp Quarter for dining and nightlife, stroll the beaches in La Jolla or Pacific Beach, or enjoy upscale shopping at Fashion Valley Mall located right across from the resort. Whether you are looking for culture, cuisine, or coastal scenery, San Diego offers something for everyone.
Dress Code
The conference dress code is business casual, but a couple of special events call for specific attire:
Monday, March 16th, 8:00 am - 10:30 am: Opening Ceremony, Installation, and Fallen Officers Recognition
-
We’re kicking things off with a ceremonial touch, so formal attire is requested. Class A uniforms are encouraged.*
Tuesday, March 17th, 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm: Gather – A Night Out in San Diego
-
We're kicking back at Petco Park on St. Patrick's Day, so this is a great chance to dress casual or with a little St. Patrick's flair.
*For those traveling with a firearm, rest assured that all rooms within our block will have in-room safes for your convenience.
Parking
Parking is available at the Town and Country for $15 per day. There is parking accessible from the hotel entrance loop, as well as from River Park Drive.
For your convenience, self-service parking validation will be available in the foyer during the event by scanning the posted signs, which will be stationed in the foyers. You must bring your parking ticket with you when you scan in order to validate it for the discounted parking rate.
This scanning system does not require staff assistance and can be accessed at your convenience. After validating your ticket, you may pay for parking either on your mobile phone.
