This year’s UTA annual Conference will be held at a special venue. The Learning Retreat at the Estancia La Jolla Hotel and Spa encompasses more than 21,500 square feet of sophisticated, luxury and purpose-built meeting space. Certified by the International Association of Conference Centers, or IACC, Estancia La Jolla features fully ergonomic, eight-hour comfort chairs, 30" wide hard-surface tables, wireless technology and advanced audio visual capabilities, making it an ideal meeting facility.

Opened just three years ago, the stunning Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa property is a 210-room conference and vacation resort in La Jolla, California. Estancia La Jolla is situated adjacent to the University of California San Diego (UCSD), within an easy drive of San Diego’s Golden Triangle, the village of La Jolla, beaches, shopping and San Diego’s world-class attractions. In addition to state-of-the-art conference facilities, the property features a full-service spa and fitness center and multiple award-winning restaurants and lounges. Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa was recently listed on the “Hot List” for 2005-2006 by Conde Nast Traveler, one of only three properties in California, as well as awarded AAA’s prestigious four-diamond award.

Offering a fresh approach to the traditional hotel meeting environment, the Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa has quickly become the West Coast's premiere certified conference destination. A contemporary California rancho estate with low-rise brick buildings gives way to charming courtyards, patios and native gardens providing a relaxing, beautiful environment to complement the state-of-the-art meeting facilities.
