Huntington Beach, internationally known as Surf City, remains one of the favorite Orange County California beach destinations. The city rightfully earned this reputation based on its beautiful backdrop with eight miles of scenic, accessible beachfront; the largest stretch of uninterrupted beachfront on the West Coast. This picturesque location was selected with you in mind to set the scene for SAP-Centric EAM 2007.

So whether you take advantage of what the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort & Spa has to offer — from the deluxe, full service Pacific Waters Spa, to exploring local parks, piers and sporting events, or braving the waves on a kayak or surf board and enjoying the sun on Hyatt’s exquisite beachfront – there are an astounding array of on-site and off-site activities you can dive into during your free time!

Eventure Events values your attendance at this year’s conference and we want to ensure that your personal leisure time is just as exciting and inspirational as the SAP-Centric EAM conference. The Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Report and Spa is centrally located in the heart of Huntington Beach and just minutes from dozens of local attractions.
