Here are the most popular convention center photo ops we see on social media. Tag us @SDConventionCtr on Twitter and Instagram and we may share your photo. (ABOVE) SAils Pavilion COLORED LIGHTS The San Diego skyline can be illuminated in a stunning new way. Our Convention Center has LED colored lights that change any time of the year. If you see it, share it! #SailsPavilionLights (TO RIGHT) Grand Staircase The 100 stairs of the Grand Staircase are a great spot for a picture, whether it’s a selfie on the steps or a panoramic view of downtown from the top.
(far left) Hall H The hall signs and the waveshaped overhangs of the front drive make a great photo for attendees to share their arrival at an event on social media. (Left) The Portal A favorite among attendees, we have fondly dubbed these columns of barreled-glass windows “The Portal.” This photo was taken from the escalator in Lobby D.
