Session Number:

Join us for a fun-filled reception aboard the USS Midway where you'll mingle with colleagues on the flight deck of the longest-serving aircraft carrier in U.S. Navy history. Located downtown San Diego at the historic Navy Pier, the USS Midway offers not only an unparalleled 360-degree view of San Diego's glistening skyline, but a glimpse into history as one of the Navy's most famous aircraft carriers.

In its 47-year career of service to country, the USS Midway was home to 225,000 Americans and took part in almost every international crisis in the latter half of the 20th century—from World War II to the liberation of Kuwait in 1991. Don't miss your opportunity to visit this piece of American history that is sure to instill a greater appreciation for courage, freedom, and service to country. 

Shuttles to the USS Midway will be provided for Summit participants from the Sheraton San Diego Bay.
