California

The competitive California convention market is becoming even more so: San Diego and Anaheim are in the midst of convention center expansions, and San Francisco will follow suit next year. And a host of other improvements are on the way, including new ballparks for the San Francisco Giants and San Diego Padres; a major expansion of Anaheim's venerable Disneyland, which turns 45 next year; and an entertainment and retail complex on the Long Beach waterfront.
