The conference has the spotlight on San Francisco as leaders from 21 countries gather for the high-stakes forum, which is being hosted in the United States for the first time since 2011. This is also San Francisco's biggest gathering of world leaders since the United Nations Charter was signed in the city in 1945.
The APEC summit itself runs from Saturday, Nov. 11, to Friday, Nov. 17, which has created significant security measures throughout the city. The event, which is primarily being held at the Moscone Center, has closed or restricted many of the downtown areas and is being controlled by the San Francisco Police Department and the U.S. Secret Service.
Some garages near the APEC event have also closed temporarily. The Moscone Center Garage and Fifth and Mission/Yerba Buena Garage closed on Saturday, Nov. 11, and will reopen by Monday, Nov. 20. The Golden Gate Bridge parking lots, including the Vista Point Garage, will reopen by Sunday.
