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!
