For the second year running, the world-class San Diego Convention Center has been chosen to receive an Inner Circle 2008 Award by readers of Association Meetings magazine. The national award recognizes excellence among convention centers based on outstanding service levels, high quality food and beverage and flexible function space. Association Meetings is an industry publication specifically for meeting executives who plan association, medical, corporate, insurance, financial and religious meetings, and who responded to a call for entries with write-in votes making San Diego a winner. “We have an incredible staff that deserves much of the credit for this award. We all share a commitment to service excellence, which has been our guiding principle since the day we opened 20 years ago,” said Carol Wallace, the San Diego Convention Center Corporation’s president and CEO. This is the second award the San Diego Convention Center has received in as many weeks. Just last week the facility scored a “Large Champion Honoree” award for excellence in energy savings from the San Diego Gas and Electric Company. Now celebrating 20 years of success, the Convention Center has generated $18.3 billion in regional economic impact, $364 million in tax revenues for the City of San Diego and supports 12,500 jobs countywide. The San Diego Convention Center Corporation is a public benefit corporation created by the city to exclusively market, manage and operate the 2.6 million square foot waterfront facility. # # #
