At this time, there are no plans for a virtual PMDMC.

The PMDMC is a business-casual event; what’s most important is that you’re comfortable and able to focus on the great content we have planned for you. Hotel conference rooms can be chilly so we recommend that you pack layers to stay comfortable.

Monday, August 12: Lunch is not provided for general conference attendees. Light hors d’oeuvres are provided for general conference attendees at the evening opening reception.

Tuesday, August 13: Conference attendees will receive breakfast and lunch. The evening event will have light hors d’oeuvres.

Wednesday, August 14: Conference attendees will receive breakfast. Lunch is on your own. The closing event will feature light happy hour munchies.

Thursday, August 15: Brave Talk attendees will receive lunch.

Once you complete your conference registration, you’ll receive a link to use to complete your hotel reservation.

The last day to book your room at the reserved block rate is July 23, 2024. But keep in mind that our room block in the past has sold out before the early bird deadline, which is May 31, 2024.

Rooms that are part of our discounted room block at the San Diego Hilton Bayfront are $269 per night plus taxes. You must book no later than July 23, 2024 to receive this rate. The total with tax comes out to $303 per person.

To guarantee your reservation, you will be required to provide a credit card which will be charged a deposit equal to one night’s room and tax. Deposits will become non-refundable if the reservation is canceled within 72 hours of arrival. Once checked in, any reservation that departs prior to the scheduled departure date will be subject to an Early Departure Fee equal to one night’s room and tax. Upon check in, an incidental deposit of $125 per night will be required. Any unused authorization will be released upon checkout.

The San Diego International Airport – SAN is the closest airport. More information can be found on our Hotel & Travel page.

Wi-Fi is free in the meeting spaces. If you’re booked in one of the conference-block rooms please follow these steps:

• Select network: Hilton Honors
• Select: I have a promotion code (Guests are to bypass “Guest Name” and “Room Number” fields)
• Enter Promotion Code: PMDMC2024

We recommend that you download the PMDMC24 mobile app before you arrive in San Diego. The updated app is now available in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Registrants will receive an email reminder with download instructions in the days before the conference.

Please note: To access the PMDMC 2024 mobile app you will need to register using the same email you used to register for the conference.

Networking with colleagues is a huge part of the value of the PMDMC. The PMDMC mobile app will include a list of all attendees, along with job title and organization. In order to respect people’s privacy, we give each attendee the option to opt in/out of sharing an email address and allowing direct messaging within the app. That said, go ahead and bring along some old fashioned business cards to share.

The hotel will provide gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan meals; you can let us know of your needs in the conference registration form. When you check-in at the conference, you’ll receive instructions on how to communicate your dietary restrictions to hotel staff. If you have additional needs (i.e. Halal, Kosher, allergies) please contact us and we’ll be happy to arrange a special meal program with the hotel.

When you register, check the box that reads “I require accommodations for a disability.” We’ll get in touch with you a few weeks before the conference for information about the services you require.

Here you go.
