SoCal Marketing Club December 2017

2017 is coming to a close and we’d like to end the year with a party - a bonanza if you will!

You heard it here first - Our friends at Seer Interactive are opening up a brand-spanking new space in San Diego’s first IDEA District project: IDEA1. What better place to throw our SCMC Year-End Bonanza?

Here’s just a little of what’s in store for you:

  • Celebrate another rad year with great food, drinks, a live DJ and [of course] your SCMC friends

  • Be a part of the first event at IDEA1’s Hub featuring their greenhouse style “IDEA Box”

  • Get exclusive updates on what 2018 will bring for SCMC

  • Hear from Seer’s Founder, Wil Reynolds, on why they chose San Diego as Seer’s West Coast home

  • All tickets come with entry to our raffle to win 1 of 3 Google Homes (must be present to win)

You know us, we usually have a laundry list of things for you to learn at our events. We’re sure you’ll still walk away from this one with some great ideas! But at the heart of it, our goal is to provide you with a kick-ass party where you can sit back and enjoy the wins of 2017. (Oh, and as always, this will be a great opportunity for you to grow that rolodex).

Can’t wait to see you there!
