Greenville University President's Gathering

FEBRUARY 22-25, 2024

MONTAGE LAGUNA BEACH
CALIFORNIA

Come join President Suzanne Davis for a special gathering on the shores of Laguna Beach. You’ll laugh. You’ll sing. You’ll meet great people who share your passion for empowering young people to change the world.

Expect inspiring presentations from our special guests, plus plenty of free time to enjoy the sun, sand, and sea of the California coast. Let’s cast vision for sending out students who will be salt and light wherever God calls them.

MONTAGE LAGUNA BEACH

Perched atop a coastal bluff high above the Pacific, Montage Laguna Beach represents the high-water mark of coastal charm and sophistication. Guest rooms feature sprawling views of the ocean, as well as Craftsman-style architecture and a museum-quality collection of art.

Amenities reflect the laid-back SoCal lifestyle. From a replenishing Marine Mineral Wrap at the 20,000-square-foot Spa Montage to snorkeling, sunning, and exploring the coves of Laguna Beach, you’re sure to leave refreshed and recharged.
