Venue

The San Francisco State University’s (SFSU) downtown campus building has been chosen as best suited to meet our needs. The venue is located right in the heart of downtown San Francisco, at 835 Market Street, the main thoroughfare of the city and mere steps from dozens, if not hundreds of bars, shops, restaurants, and tourist attractions. The facility is modern, secure, and very flexible and affordable in their offerings, making it ideal for the conference.

SFSU’s facilities offer several features that make it attractive:

• The building sits atop a major transit station, with service to BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit), with direct connections to San Francisco International airport, and MUNI, the light rail system. One merely needs to get off at the correct stop, and you’re at the location!
• The facilityis fully ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant.
• Most major bus lines stop directly in front of the building, offering access to the entire city.
• San Francisco’s famous trolleys (cable cars) stop directly across the street.
• The facility adjoins the busting Westfield Mall shopping center, which among other things provides immediate access to its food court with a robust offering of quality food choices (not fast food), morning to night.
• State of the art facilities allow for recording of the conference, with their integrated A/V system.
• Being in the heart of downtown San Francisco, the venue is easy to find, and major hotels are just steps away.
• The venue adjoins the Century Theater complex, allowing us a perfect space for the entire group to convene for keynotes and any other “full group” gatherings. This is a major hurdle that most venues fail to provide for.
