NEW! CONVENTION TRANSPORTATION
NO MORE LINES! Those
who register by the advance
cutoff date will receive their
badges in the mail 2 weeks
prior to the show.
Instead of traveling to the Convention Center in a shuttle
bus, this year convention attendees will be transported
via the San Diego Trolley. Trolley stations are conveniently located within steps to our host hotels. From the
station you will board a trolley for a quick ride to the
front of the San Diego Convention Center. The San
Diego Trolley is known for its reliability, safety, and convenience. Often called San Diego's “moving landmark”,
the Trolley serves Downtown San Diego, Old Town,
Coronado, Mission Valley, Fashion Valley, Tijuana, and
Qualcomm Stadium at Jack Murphy Field.
NEW! Pre-registrants staying at
the San Diego Marriott will be
able to obtain their badge holder at the registration booth
provided on-site before heading to the Convention Center.
