NECA Show Coverage

Fun Facts You May Not Know About San Diego

Sept. 13, 2024

If you’re attending the upcoming NECA show, see how familiar you are with the most temperate city in the United States.

Known for its temperate climate and breathtaking beaches, San Diego is home to the upcoming NECA convention to be held September 29 to October 1. As conference-goers converge on what is considered the “birthplace” of California later this month — the city is the site of the first permanent Spanish settlement in 1769 in the state — we thought it would be fun to test your knowledge of this popular hot spot with a little trivia. How many of these fun facts did you already know? And be honest — at least a few of these discoveries were news to the EC&M editorial team.

The entire EC&M editorial team will be in attendance at the show. Looking forward to seeing you — stop by Booth #2129 and say hello!
