San Diego is California’s second-largest city. Known as the “Birthplace of California,” the city is a major economic and cultural center for the southern California region, home to the University of California and its affiliated USCD Medical Center, a leading biotechnology facility. It is known for its year-round temperate climate and expansive deep-water harbor, which serves as a popular hub for boating and water sports and is flanked by miles of beautiful beachfront. Major tourist attractions in San Diego include the world-renowned San Diego Zoo, massive oasis Balboa Park, and museums related to the region’s naval history.
The 2.6-million-square-foot San Diego Convention Center provides convenient access to more than 11,000 world-class hotel rooms and is located adjacent to the hip Gaslamp Quarter neighborhood, home to a wide variety of nightlife venues, and annual festivals.
