The IT Summit returns to San Diego in 2013 for the city’s second of The IT Summit Information Technology Seminars. Home of DivX and Sony Online Entertainment, San Diego is a focal point in California and a popular gateway to Mexico and the Pacific. And it is a natural place for Information Technology Seminars. After an informative day at The IT Summit Information Technology Seminars, take some time to visit the local sites.

Local Attractions

The USS Midway Museum is one of San Diego’s most memorable attractions. The museum features more than sixty exhibits and a collection of over two dozen meticulously restored aircraft from World War II to present. A visit is not only entertaining and informative, it is also a reminder of the dedication and sacrifices of the Sailors and Marines who have served our nation.

The Old Point Loma Lighthouse stood watch over the entrance to San Diego Bay for 36 years. At dusk on November 15, 1855, the light keeper climbed the winding stairs and lit the light for the first time. What seemed to be a good location 422 feet above sea level, however, had a serious flaw. Learn about this historic lighthouse and how, in spite of it’s short-comings, it served sailors for 36 years.

If you are a sport fan, you will enjoy a trip to the San Diego Hall of Champions Sports Museum, a multisport museum dedicated to commemorating excellence in over 40 professional and amateur sports.

Once a Marine, always a Marine. If you are a Marine, family member of a Marine or simply have an interest in the Marines, you will want to visit the Marine Corps Command Museum. The museum features exhibits documenting the history of The Corps from the late 19th century to the present day as well as maintaining a reference center which contains an archives and a research library. Honor a Marine today.

Get your workout and your recreation on at Balboa Park. Although mostly known as the home of the world famous San Diego Zoo, the park also recreation spot for bicyclists, joggers and walkers, features a public tennis club and golf course, or you can choose to enjoy the scenic landscapes of the park, including the Alcazar Garden, or get up close and personal with nature at the Botanical Building. While you are at the park, stop in and visit the San Diego Model Railroad Museum.

The San Diego Model Railroad Museum is the largest and only accredited scale Model Railroad Museum in the United States. SDMRM has collections of some of the first scale model trains ever to be built in the entire world! The museum also features a layout that replicates many of San Diego’s real-world tracks.

Car lovers never tire of classic cars. The San Diego Automotive Museum houses a magnificent display of vintage automobiles and motorcycles. Among the collection are exhibits on Louis Mattar’s Fabulous one-of-kind 1947 Cadillac and California’s “Plank Road”, as well as collections of classic Harley Davidson and Indian motorcycles.
