Getting there
Allow half an hour each way to San Francisco International Airport (SFO), 21 km (13 mi) away, and rather more if your first session starts during the morning peak.
8.5 km (5.3 mi) from the centre puts this outside comfortable walking range of any hotel district, so the shuttle is part of the event rather than an extra.
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
At 19,596 the seating bowl is the point and the floor is the room you are actually booking. Plan the day around one big moment here and put everything that needs a smaller room in a second building.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- festivals
An audience of 19,596 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
