Getting there

22 km (14 mi) separates Calvin Simmons Theater from San Francisco International Airport (SFO) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.

A central address is worth more than it looks: no shuttle, no parking plan, and evening sessions that people actually stay for.

Oakland has 58 venues mapped in total and a population of 443,554. The Oakland guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.

Formats this suits

A fixed-seat house suits a single-track programme: keynotes, panels, award ceremonies and film. It does not suit a trade floor, banqueting or anything that needs the seats to move, so pair it with a nearby function room if you need both.

  • award ceremonies

    Fixed seating, sightlines and a lighting rig are the hard parts, and they are already here.

  • product launches

    A single-track room with a real stage is the right shape for a launch.

  • multi-track conferences

    Works as a plenary house with breakouts booked elsewhere in the city.
