Hotel & Travel

Venue

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 all easily accessible.

Air travel

To get the best fares and schedule, reserve your air travel as soon as possible. San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is the closest major airport, an easy 25-minute drive to and from downtown. The Oakland International Airport (OAK) 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 hotels and conference center.
