    This place is such a beautiful venue for a conference. The view of the ocean is incredible and the yachts make it even better.

    Nice convention center that is easily navigable. Only wish there were more internal food options and that the center focused more on the water just outside.

    Went for the International Car Show. Great way to kill a few hours and shop every local type of car in one stop, and see some fancy old ones.

    The convention center needs to install more benches/seating all around the convention center. They are WAY behind every other convention center I have been to in public seating.

    When there's a big convention, it can be tough getting a seat for lunch. Plan to eat at off-times like 11am or 2pm and you'll have a much easier time.

    This place is huge! Grab a coffee and a protein-packed snack to help you navigate. Then refuel with fish tacos at Tin Fish, just across the street.

    San Diego Convention Center has been my mecca for almost 2 decades. But with the large influx of people... perhaps ARTERY style quick pace LANES ought to be created for traffic to flow better. Read more
