Social Events Worthy of the Riviera

As the sun sets on the shores of Carlsbad, join us for an evening inspired by the glamour, sophistication, and energy of the French Riviera. Côte d'Azur After Dark transforms the convention into a chic celebration featuring a live DJ, dancing, and plenty of opportunities to reconnect with friends and colleagues.

Slip into your upscale resort attire, gather your favorite kaftans, and don't forget to BYOB—Bring Your Own Bouge—as we dance the night away under the California sky.
