Happy 35th Anniversary to our partners at the San Diego Convention Center Corporation! From Comic-Con International to major conferences and events, the San Diego Convention Center continues to welcome millions of visitors who are captivated by our city's stunning waterfront and renowned hospitality. #SanDiego #SanDiegoTourism #SanDiegoMeetings #VisitSanDiego
In November 1989, downtown San Diego transformed with the opening of an architecturally unconventional convention center. With a nautical theme and dramatic views of the city and bay, the San Diego Convention Center became a world-renowned destination for meetings, trade shows, and more. ? In this season of gratitude, we’ll reflect on elements of this 35-year history and the many people who have contributed to our shared successes. First up: iconic moments!
