San Diego Convention Center Receives Inner Circle Award from Association Meetings

Readers rate San Diego one of nation’s top convention centers for third year in a row

For the third year in a row, meeting planners have chosen the San Diego Convention Center (SDCC) as one of the nation’s top facilities for doing the ‘best job’ in handling their meetings and making their meetings a ‘huge success.’ Association Meetings readers, who have the responsibility for planning meetings and conventions for the association market, awarded the SDCC a 2009 Inner Circle Award for being a top property and one of meeting planners’ favorites.

“It’s an honor being chosen as one of the best convention facilities,” said Carol Wallace, president and CEO of the SDCC. “We’re fortunate to have a talented, hard-working staff who deserve the credit for this award. Going above and beyond expectations is our goal for each and every event held in our building.”

Each year Association Meetings readers select a total of 70 Inner Circle winners in the hotel/resort/conference centers, convention centers and convention and visitors bureau categories. Judging is based on how organizations in each category have best served the meetings and conventions in their destination over the past year. Forty hotels, 15 convention and visitors bureaus and 15 convention centers were honored with the 2009 Inner Circle Award. A complete list of winners can be found on Association Meeting’s website at meetingsnet.com.

The San Diego Convention Center Corporation manages, markets and operates the San Diego Convention Center. In its 20-year history, the facility has proved to be a vital economic engine generating $18 billion in regional economic benefits and $360 million in tax dollars for the city of San Diego.
