Hello all!

We’ve been busy, busy preparing for a rather groundbreaking conference we have coming up on March 26 at the Pacific Ballroom.

The Innovate!SoCal innovation conference is only two weeks away! This conference focuses on building entrepreneurship in Southern California. We have some big-time speakers lined up such as David J. Delgado-Nasa, Diana Kander-New York Times best-selling author, Thom Ruhe-Director of Entrepreneurship of the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, Jeff Zlas-Intuit Unstructured Time Leader, and many more on the line-up to share their expertise on developing high-growth start-ups.

Stay tuned next week for a sneak preview of program and exhibition information!

Welcome to the brand new Coast to Coast Conferences and Events website!  We’re excited to announce the launch of our new name and site – just in time for our 20th year anniversary!

If you’re a seasoned visitor to www.ctcconferences.com you may have checked your URL twice when you landed on the page. Don’t adjust your dial – we have a new name and a whole new look!   Take a look around. You’ll notice new content, better navigation, more photos, and yes, a new name along with a whole new look and feel… all designed with you in mind.   Planning for the new name and website began over a year ago, gradually taking shape with the input of clients, focus groups, and the expertise and guidance of Goldman Sachs, Mindset Masters Marketing and Black Locust Design along the way.  We’re really pleased with the result, and hope you will be as well.

As you may have noticed, the new site now features a national look and feel, along with highlights from Long Beach, CA, where our company headquarters office is located. Our new site features improved navigation and content and demonstrates our vision to be your preferred partner on both a local and national level – no matter where in the U.S. you are located.  You can always count on us to jump through hoops to deliver outstanding customer service and partner with you to deliver perfect plans and flawless program execution – all intended to make you the “hero” of your next function.

If you were accustomed to the navigation on the old site, you’ll see a significant change – if you’ve bookmarked any pages on the site, they’ll be due for an update.  We’ll be adding more content in the coming weeks and months, and have exciting plans for the continued growth of the site. We envision this becoming a “destination site” for clients and visitors alike — the preferred stop for anyone interested in learning more about conference & event planning and how we can support you to making your next program a huge success.

We created this new site for you, the user, so please, let us know what you think. You can email us your feedback at info@ctcconferences.com.

Thanks for visiting! We hope you enjoy our new site!
