ONE OF A KIND Citygate Network’s celebrated Annual Conference and Exposition is seen as the largest and most energetic event of its kind for people serving in rescue missions and life­transformation ministries. Year after year, attendees affirm that there is nothing else like it anywhere. SO-CAL Palm Springs, California, is where it will all be happening in 2019. The primary dates are June 3–6, with a very special (optional) preliminary gathering taking place in Los Angeles on June 1–2. If you haven’t been to Palm Springs, California, it’s a must­see setting: The land of pools and palm trees and more golf courses than you can shake a five­iron at. A walk down North Palm Canyon Drive—just three blocks from where our event will be—offers the quintessential California experience: Trendy shops and boutiques, amazing restaurants, and an occasional movie star. OUR DIGS Our meeting venue is the Palm Springs Convention Center and Renaissance Palm Springs Hotel (attached properties). Our second hotel option, located one block away, is the Hilton Palm Springs. The single/double rate at the Renaissance is $135; it’s $125 at the Hilton. And get this: The Palm Springs Airport is less than two miles away! This unique airport is served by 10 major airlines and offers 26 nonstop destinations. THE LOCALS Our local ministry for this conference will be Coachella Valley Rescue Mission in nearby Indio, California. We’re offering a tour of their impressive facility on Wednesday, June 5. This ministry is doing some unconventional things with great results.
