We are so grateful for all of you for your support as we transitioned from in-person to online! Because of YOU, it was a huge success and more than 6,000 people checked in to see what's shaking in San Diego! We have more planned, so be sure to sign up for our mailing list to Get Updates (scroll down to find that).
