Excited to share that we all had an amazing time at the annual FirstWatch summer gathering yesterday at the Catamaran Resort Hotel & Spa, in San Diego.

As a mainly remote workforce it was great to meet, greet, and mingle with co-workers and colleagues and catch up in person.

The Catamaran is also home to our own Collaborate Live Conference (https://firstwatch.net/collaborate-live/). Come join us at this amazing location September 14 – 17, 2026
