Getting there
San Jose International Airport (SJC) sits 5 km (3.1 mi) out, so a same-day return is realistic for anyone flying in for one session.
Being 1.3 km (0.8 mi) from the middle of San Jose means attendees can walk from their hotel, which removes the single most complained-about line in most event budgets.

Formats this suits
This is one of 10 exhibition and convention venues mapped in San Jose, and the class matters more than the size: a hall is a floor you subdivide, which is a different purchase from a room you fill with chairs.
- trade shows and exhibitions
Built as a floor rather than a seating plan, which is what an exhibition needs.
- multi-track conferences
The same hall subdivides into tracks once the booths come out.
- career fairs
A booth grid and a single controlled entrance is the whole requirement.
