How attendees reach it
Allow half an hour each way to San Francisco International Airport (SFO), 17 km (11 mi) away, and rather more if your first session starts during the morning peak.
A central address is worth more than it looks: no shuttle, no parking plan, and evening sessions that people actually stay for.
San Francisco has 161 venues mapped in total and a population of 827,526. The San Francisco guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Programming it
This is a room for a workshop, a chapter meeting, a training day or one track of a larger programme. Anything with an exhibition attached needs a second space.
- networking mixers
An independent space with its own character, which a mixer benefits from more than a conference does.
- fundraisers and galas
A room with a personality is worth more at a gala than square footage is.
