Travel to Freight & Salvage
Allow half an hour each way to San Francisco International Airport (SFO), 30 km (19 mi) away, and rather more if your first session starts during the morning peak.
Being 0.3 km (0.2 mi) from the middle of Berkeley means attendees can walk from their hotel, which removes the single most complained-about line in most event budgets.
Berkeley has 33 venues mapped in total and a population of 121,749. The Berkeley guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
What fits in this room
The seats do not move, which is the whole trade. You get sightlines, acoustics and a lighting rig you would otherwise have to rent, and you give up the ability to put tables in the room. Freight & Salvage is 5th of 14 such houses mapped in Berkeley.
- 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.
