Join the 33rd Annual San Diego County Economic Roundtable on Thursday, Jan. 19 for a lively discussion with a panel of experts on the future of the local economy, workforce development, real estate market, startups and innovation in education.

Please be aware that parking at USD is now metered. Four hours of parking may be purchased for $4.
Attendees should use the west USD entrance, turn left into the West Parking Lot and purchase parking from the pay stations located at the tram stop and next to the elevators in the structure. Trams, which arrive every few minutes, will then take you to the Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice.
The parking pay stations use license plate numbers and it may be helpful to take a photo of your plate when you park. Once you have paid, there is no need to display the receipt on the dashboard. To speed up the parking payment process, you can download the Whoosh! App in advance from the Apple or Google stores.
