San Diego coverage
San Diego has a split personality that works entirely in its favor. The biotech corridor stretching from Torrey Pines to Sorrento Valley generates a year-round calendar of industry conferences and corporate events. Meanwhile, SDCC and the convention center's pop culture calendar draw global brand activations and entertainment events.
Add a major military presence and one of the strongest craft beer and culinary scenes in the country, and San Diego's event calendar is deeper than most cities twice its size. Pause Studios brings candid-first instincts to all of it — the same approach whether the room is a biotech keynote or a Gaslamp Quarter brand activation.
Brian Mullin has covered fan conventions at scale — the same editorial precision behind Fan Expo Cleveland and GalaxyCon Columbus applies directly to San Diego's convention circuit.
