2025 Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Seminar Conference

2025 Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Seminar

Long Beach Status Update

The Seminar team are on the ground here in Long Beach and want to provide you with the following update.

On behalf of the Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Seminar, we want to assure you that the health and safety of all attendees and participants is paramount to us.

We are confirming to all attendees, exhibitors, and speakers that after continued conversations with officials from the City of Long Beach, the conference is proceeding forward.

We understand the severe nature of wildfires and our hearts go out to all who have been impacted.

We continue to closely monitor the current situation in the Los Angeles and surrounding areas. The city of Long Beach is not experiencing fire activity, and according to the National Weather Service as of Sunday morning Long Beach is not in a listed area for Fire Weather Risk.

Air Quality Status

We are aware of concerns regarding air quality in the area. We want to assure participants that Long Beach is not currently in the zone with forecasted hazardous air quality and the Air Quality according to AQMD has been consistently rated as Good to Moderate over the weekend. The Seminar is making masks available on site for those who may be sensitive or desire additional protection.

Airport Status

On the subject of travel, Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is open, operating as normal, and is reporting that the vast majority of arrivals and departures into the airport have continued as normal amid the current events in the region. We still encourage attendees to check with their airlines for flight status.

In addition, the Long Beach Airport and John Wayne Airport in Irvine located further South from LAX are also open and operating normally.

Hotel and Long Beach Area

A final topic we want to provide information on is hotel status and activities around Long Beach. We have been in regular communication with the convention bureau who reports that Long Beach has not been asked to participate in or activate any regional housing/services support programs and general commercial activity is normal. For reference the Convention Center has been hosting a four-day citywide event all weekend with thousands of attendees. There is adequate and normal hotel room availability with no impacts attributable by the Seminar.

We look forward to seeing you all in sunny Long Beach this week and hope you come prepared for good conversations and discussions on all things hydrogen and fuel cells.
