WEST 2027’s listing confirms a three-day convention and trade show, but not the daily schedule, room assignments or who may register. That makes the venue and arrival plan more concrete than any day-by-day itinerary for now.
WEST 2027 is scheduled for Feb. 16–18 at the San Diego Convention Center. The event listing names AFCEA International and the U.S. Naval Institute and identifies the gathering as a convention with a trade show.
It does not name speakers, sessions or exhibitors, assign activities to particular days, or give opening and closing times. Registration method, admission cost and attendee eligibility are also unstated. Check the linked WEST website for updates before choosing a day or making plans around a particular activity.

The Convention Center has three levels: exhibit halls are on the ground level, meeting rooms are on the mezzanine and upper levels. The venue map can help visitors understand the building, but it does not show where WEST events will take place; the listing provides no room assignments.

The Convention Center’s construction bulletin was last reviewed in August 2026. It projected that the second phase of work at Park Boulevard and Harbor Drive would begin in 2027 and be completed in 2028. The bulletin anticipated single-lane closures for about a week during curb work and another single-lane closure for repaving near the project’s end; it does not confirm a closure on WEST dates.
The same bulletin projected construction on a new downtown COASTER platform to start in late 2026, with passenger service estimated for early 2028. It also described a paused segment of the Bayshore Bikeway project south of the Convention Center. The bulletin said Harbor Drive traffic between Park Boulevard and Cesar Chavez Parkway would be reduced to one lane in each direction once that work begins. Check current project information closer to your trip rather than assuming any of these projected effects will apply during the convention.
