The San Diego Convention Center

This year ToorCon will take place on September 26th-28th at the San Diego Convention Center. San Diego is not only a natural beauty, it's also one of the nation's most vibrant cities and the Convention Center is at the heart of all the action. The beautiful bayside building is just a short stroll away from an exciting array of sidewalk cafes, specialty shops, art galleries and clubs in the historical Gaslamp District, thousands of hotel rooms, gorgeous waterfront parks, some of the finest restaurants in Southern California, the dynamic new San Diego Aircraft Carrier Museum and PETCO Park, the San Diego Padres' fabulous new downtown ballpark.

Rooms

ToorCon's Conference and Reception will be located at rooms 25-27 on the San Diego Convention Center's Upper Level (on the street side).

Hotels

Here's a list of hotel deals that we've received pricing on from various websites:

There's also some good information on the San Diego Convention Center & Visitors Bureau website . Under Find a Hotel, select Downtown for closest hotels. Other nearby selections are Mission Valley/Old Town and Point Loma/Harbor Island/Shelter Island

Holiday Inn is also doing a deal currently where you can get a $50 gas card when you book the Best Flexible rate and stay 3 or more nights at any Holiday Inn® or Holiday Inn Express® in the U.S. through September 30, 2008*.

It is worth noting though that there are many other cheaper hotels that are farther away in San Diego that you can find if you shop around. Most other hotels in downtown are within walking distance or a $5 cab ride. If you're looking for a good deal, you may want to check hotels in Old Town or closer to Mission Valley that are near the Trolley which will take you to the convention center for ~ $1.25-$2.00. More hotel information and deals can be found in the Forums .
