Getting there
Allow half an hour each way to San Diego International Airport (SAN), 12 km (7.5 mi) away, and rather more if your first session starts during the morning peak.
This is an out-of-centre venue — 11 km (6.5 mi) from the middle of San Diego — which usually buys you parking and load-in access in exchange for a transport plan.
San Diego has 70 venues mapped in total and a population of 1,404,452. The San Diego guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits

A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.

One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
