Meeting Planners

For nearly 30 years, the San Diego Convention Center has been at the forefront of the meetings industry. That is why we are proud to share that we have won the Gold Award for Best Convention Center in the Western United States by the 2018 Prevue Visionary Awards.

This is the first time the Prevue Visionary Awards has included a category for convention centers, specifically recognizing venues that are forward-thinking and innovative.

At your San Diego Convention Center, we are in the experience business. And hosting dinners or banquets in the iconic 90,000 sq. ft. Sails Pavilion makes for quite the experience!

What does it take to feed 6,500 people in this one room during one convention?

At this year's Cardinal Health Retail Business Conference (RBC), our in-house staff worked to serve seven meals in the Sails Pavilion over the course of four days. It was a collaboration between the San Diego Convention Center and our food and beverage team, Centerplate.
