Getting there
San Jose International Airport (SJC) is 85 km (53 mi) away. Build a real transfer window into the arrival day and do not schedule anything important before midday.
It is central, so a hotel block within walking distance is realistic and you can skip a shuttle entirely.
Monterey has 14 venues mapped in total and a population of 29,015. The Monterey guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
Smaller spaces are where most events actually happen, and First Theater is one of them. A single-track day works; a programme with a trade floor attached does not.
- 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.
