2022 California Missions and Presidios Conference Recap

39th Annual Missions and Presidios Conference

 

The 39th Annual California Missions and Presidios Conference "The Birth of a City: Mission San Luis Obispo 250 Years" was presented virtually February 18-19, 2022 with a day of pre-conference events and day of on-site tours in San Luis Obispo on September 2, 2022 with a special banquet and lifetime achievement awards the night before on the evening of September 1 at Mission San Luis Obispo. After last year's successful virtual conference, many were anticipating reuniting once again in person. The events lined up for 2022 provided the benefits of last year's conference with the traditional in-person gathering that we so appreciate and missed last year.
