Getting there
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 0.2 km (0.1 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.
The published number for the venue is +1 510 3564000.
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.
Formats this suits
A fixed-seat house suits a single-track programme: keynotes, panels, award ceremonies and film. It does not suit a trade floor, banqueting or anything that needs the seats to move, so pair it with a nearby function room if you need both.
- 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.
