San Francisco
Join us in the heart of Northern California this November for sessions, strategies, and success in the cloud at the Dreamforce Global Gathering 2009! Read on for travel and venue information.

The Moscone Center
Located right in the heart of downtown, The Moscone Center is San Francisco’s premier meeting and exhibition facility. The neighborhood surrounding the conference center is packed with hotels, theaters, restaurants, museums, galleries, parks, and other tourist attractions. And the city’s most famous spots—like Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Fisherman’s Wharf—are a short drive, cable car ride, or ferry trip away.

Air travel

To get the best fares and schedule, reserve your air travel as soon as possible. San Francisco International Airport is the closest major airport, an easy 25-minute drive to and from downtown. The Oakland International Airport is just a 35-minute drive over the Bay Bridge. Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) links to both airports, and the Powell Street BART station is only a few short blocks away from the conference center and most of the hotels.

Salesforce.com partnered with major airlines serving the San Francisco Bay Area to secure discounts for Dreamforce attendees traveling to the conference by air. Visit our transportation page for details on how to save money on your flight to the Bay Area and on ground transportation to and from the airport.

Weather
November in San Francisco is pleasantly chilly. The days are cool and clear, with temperatures in the 60s, while evening lows dive deep into the 50s. Be sure to dress in layers because the fickle San Francisco weather promises to keep you guessing. Check the weather report before you arrive.
