Learning Doesn’t Stop in the Sessions

One of the most valuable parts of MavCon is what happens outside the masterclasses.

Attendees will spend time golfing at Torrey Pines Golf Course, one of the most iconic courses in the country. This isn’t just about golf, it’s about relaxed, meaningful conversations with peers, partners, and industry leaders in an environment where real relationships are built.

The experience continues with a group dinner at George’s at the Cove, where attendees can connect over exceptional food, ocean views, and candid discussions about what’s driving growth, and what challenges others are solving right now. These moments often spark partnerships, ideas, and connections that directly impact business performance long after the event ends.

Stay, Learn, and Connect in One Place

MavCon attendees will be staying at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla Aventine, providing a comfortable, centralized setting for sessions, networking, and informal conversations throughout the event.

Having everyone together in one location creates more opportunities to connect, whether it’s over breakfast, between sessions, or during downtime. These organic conversations are often where the most valuable insights are shared.

Why MavCon Is Worth It

MavCon brings together education, experience, and connection in a way that few events do. Attendees don’t just learn what’s working. They build relationships that help their businesses grow and profit long after they return home.

If you’re looking for actionable insights, high-level conversations, and an environment designed for meaningful networking, MavCon delivers all of it — on and off the agenda.
