Safe Meetings

San Diego has among the highest COVID-19 vaccination rates of convention destinations. More than 89% of San Diego residents over age 5 have received at least one vaccine dose, and 79% are fully vaccinated. See the County's dashboard. 

Beyond our high vaccination rates, we have one of the most experienced event teams in the nation, having supported 24/7 community response efforts in the building for 15 months during the pandemic. SDCC worked directly with County public health, CDC, and other medical experts to train staff, refine protocols, and host people in the building safely and responsibly.

The California Department of Public Health is requiring masks to be worn in all indoor public settings, regardless of vaccination status, through February 15, 2022. See the CDPH website for exceptions and details.

We have industry-leading approaches to cleaning, disinfection, ventilation, employee training and infectious disease prevention.
