The San Diego Convention Center’s map separates exhibit halls on the ground level from meeting rooms on the floors above. That gives ASCRS 2027 attendees a useful starting point for navigating the venue—but not a confirmed floor plan for the meeting.
The venue calendar identifies the ASCRS 2027 Annual Meeting as a convention with a trade show, scheduled for April 2–5 at the San Diego Convention Center, 111 W Harbor Drive. The calendar entry does not name sessions, speakers or exhibitors, or give trade-show hours or daily opening and closing times.
That distinction matters when deciding how long to stay or when to arrive: the four-day date range does not establish the hours or activities for any particular day. Registration dates, fees and attendance eligibility should also be confirmed with ASCRS.

The Convention Center has ground, mezzanine and upper levels. Its general map places exhibit halls and lobbies on the ground level, meeting rooms 12–19 on the mezzanine, and meeting rooms 1–11 and 21–33 on the upper level. Ballrooms 6 and 20 and the Sails Pavilion are also on the upper level.
These are building-wide locations, not confirmed ASCRS assignments. Check event materials for the rooms and halls the meeting will actually use; the venue’s Guest Services team can help visitors find their way inside.

The venue’s visitor information places the Gaslamp Quarter just outside the building, with lodging, restaurants, shopping and entertainment. The Embarcadero, on the center’s west side, offers bayfront walks and parks. These nearby districts can help frame plans around the meeting, though the calendar does not list event-related activities there.

A downtown construction update last reviewed in August 2026 projected that work on the Park Boulevard–Harbor Drive crossing would begin in 2027 and continue into 2028. The project may require single-lane closures for curb work and, later, repaving. The update also expected construction of a new COASTER platform across from the convention center to start in late 2026, with passenger service projected for early 2028.
Those are advance projections, not a traffic report for the April meeting. Check current road and transit information closer to travel, especially if driving or using the existing rail station.
