The Event: Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance
Since 1950, Pebble Beach has been host to the finest exhibition of show cars in the world. The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance - held on August 18th at the Fairway of Pebble Beach Golf Links - is an annual gathering of rare and antique automobiles and international motorcar enthusiasts. Originally a small social event paired with a road race through the pine and cypress forests of Pebble Beach, this event has grown into the top-ranking collector car competition in the world.
We are looking for some of CSUMB’s most responsible, enthusiastic, and professional students to join the Special Event Management Team.
