Safe Meetings

San Diego has among the highest COVID-19 vaccination rates of convention destinations. 90% of San Diego residents over 6 months have received at least one vaccine dose, and approximately 80% 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. In August 2021, we reopened for event activity.

For additional information, please see:

Please check the policy for the event you are attending. As of March 1, the State of California is no longer requiring masks. Masks are strongly recommended in most indoor settings. See the CDPH website for details.

Individual event organizers may choose to require masks. 

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

Our food and beverage department earned a hygiene verification label, Rise SAFE, that is specifically for catering operations. Rise SAFE is managed by Sodexo and Bureau Veritas, an independent world leader in testing, inspection, and certification.

We can't wait to safely welcome you to sunny San Diego!
