San Francisco will host the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) CEO Summit 2023 on November 11 – 17, 2023, at the Moscone Center West. The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas, has designated the APEC CEO Summit 2023 a National Special Security Event (NSSE), activating the Federal Government in the implementation of event security and incident management to ensure the safety of all event participants. This will be a complex undertaking for the Airport and will impact residential areas in San Francisco.
Residents and visitors should plan ahead by accessing the following local resources to ensure they are fully informed about APEC-related activities and expected impacts to the public.
SF.gov
SF.gov, San Francisco’s centralized website for all City services, will serve as a landing page directing residents and guests to information on City services continuity during APEC, including public transit temporary reroutes, adjustments to hours of public-facing services at City buildings, and information for small businesses. Visit SF.gov/apec for more information.
