Location

We love being a conference with a seaview, so for Hero Conf we picked the waterfront venue of Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego in downtown San Diego.

There’s easy access to San Diego’s best beaches, restaurants, shops, entertainment venues, and more with plenty of transport options to get to, and around, the city.

We’re under 3 miles from San Diego International Airport which has direct flights from around the world. Rome2Rio can help you plan your travel to San Diego.

If you’re driving, there is parking at the hotel, use the ACE parking garage at the side of the hotel.

Hero Conf attendees coming for the day get a discounted rate of $11 per day (self-parking) or $16 per day (valet), just pick up a voucher at the conference registration point and, when you leave the garage, insert this after the voucher you were given when entering.

Hero Conf attendees staying at the hotel can get overnight parking from $45 for self-parking which includes unlimited in and out privileges.

Experience the best of San Diego while you’re in town.
