Experiential Marketing in San Diego

San Diego pairs a major convention center with a strong biotech, defense and tech community. Conferences, sales meetings and waterfront galas run all year. The San Diego Convention Center sits on the bay next to the Gaslamp Quarter and hosts large conferences throughout the year. Biotech companies in Torrey Pines and Sorrento Valley, defense and tech firms, and resorts from La Jolla to Carlsbad add a steady stream of corporate events.

We are not a basic photo booth company. Every activation is customized, staffed by Milestone Media and built around your brand, designed for San Diego conferences, biotech events and waterfront galas. We cover Downtown, the Gaslamp Quarter, La Jolla, Carlsbad and Del Mar. Leading venues we support include the Hotel del Coronado, the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina, the USS Midway Museum and Petco Park. Every activation follows the same four steps: strategy and design, venue logistics, on-site install and event day.
