SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The San Diego Convention Center will reopen for events on Aug. 1, following more than 15 months of serving as an emergency shelter for homeless San Diegans and as a housing facility for unaccompanied children asylum seekers, officials said Wednesday.
The first event to return to the facility is SPIE Optics + Photonics, a meeting that showcases light-based technologies, scheduled for Aug. 1-5.
A temporary shelter that was set up to house thousands of migrant children at the San Diego Convention Center has closed. NBC 7’s Audra Stafford shares what’s next for the facility.
The return follows a shutdown of public gatherings that began with COVID-19 state and county health orders in March 2020. More than 150 convention center events were canceled, postponed or turned virtual. According to the convention center s estimates, those lost events would have produced an estimated economic impact of $2.3 billion and an estimated $50 million in tax revenue for San Diego.
The center has 30 events already scheduled between August and December, including the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons 2021 annual meeting (Aug. 31-Sept. 3), the American Society of Anesthesiologists annual meeting (Oct. 8-12) and Comic-Con: Special Edition (Nov. 26-28).

When choosing a surgical procedure, it is important to consider the patient’s comorbidity (BMI, diabetes, smoking status, medical illnesses, American Society of Anesthesiologists’ (ASA) classification of Physical Health, etc.), history of abdominal or vaginal surgery, and the indication. Although complications following benign hysterectomy are rare, several studies show that laparoscopic hysterectomy is superior with respect to risk of bleeding, thromboembolic events, infection, and quality of life.
