Break Conference Attendance Records

Think of the best cities in the United States to visit. San Francisco inevitably comes to mind for meeting planners and it will for conference attendees, too. Announcing San Francisco as your selected meeting location will have attendees smiling over visions of the Golden Gate Bridge and cable cars. Incredible dining, shopping, cultural attractions and natural beauty mean there's something to appeal to every type of attendee. The city's allure, coupled with strong airlift into San Francisco International Airport, allows San Francisco to draw record-breaking attendance even in challenging economic times.

Host a Truly Central Event

Located just off Interstate 80 and blocks from Union Square, the Moscone Center is about as central as it gets in San Francisco's seven-by-seven miles. The Center is located near an abundance of hotels, restaurants, museums, attractions and public transit options. Moscone offers nearly 1 million square feet of meeting and exhibit space including more than 100 meeting rooms, three enormous ballrooms and more than 120,000 square feet of pre-function lobbies.

Do it Green

Do it Green

Everyone talks about being green, but Moscone Center backs it up with a huge commitment to the environment that dates back to 1998 — well before it was a trendy marketing measure. Moscone has been setting the recycling standard for convention centers for more than a decade, diverting nearly 2 million square feet of materials from landfills each year. The 2003 expansion that upgraded the center to more than 2 million square feet includes important resource-efficient design features, high-performance windows and lighting mechanical systems that exceed Title 24 Energy Efficiency standards, a full-time air-quality technician on staff, and one of the nation's largest municipally owned rooftop solar installations.
