San Diego Marina

In isolation, we look for reunion. With distance, we long to connect. MCAA has always created a deep sense of belonging—to an association, to an industry, to a partnership, to a family. That hasn’t changed during the pandemic, we’ve just had to do it differently. Finally, we can return to each other. We can reunite and reconnect in ways that have been impossible for two years. This Convention, more than any other, can be a celebration.
It is my distinct pleasure and honor to invite you, the members of our MCAA family, to be Reunited at the MCAA22 Convention, March 13-17 at the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina for five days of world-class speakers and entertainment, networking and social events.
I hope to see you in beautiful San Diego for the celebration we’ve all been waiting for!
