How attendees reach it

San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is 30 km (19 mi) out, a standard transfer of twenty to forty minutes outside rush hour.

Being 1.1 km (0.7 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.

Programming it

Programme this as a theatre, because that is what it is. One track, one stage, an audience facing the same way and 1,984 of them. Catering and breakouts need a second space nearby.

  • 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.
