The Mint

Located approximately 0.4 miles from Moscone Center in downtown San Francisco, The Mint pairs landmark architecture with a layout built around movement and discovery. Its 52,000 square feet of event space includes two ballrooms, a large open-air courtyard with optional tenting, original gold vaults, and a collection of smaller rooms spread across two floors.

That mix allows different parts of the program to take place in their own setting while remaining connected within the same venue. The building brings plenty of character on its own, while still leaving room for modern production, custom layouts, and a very different experience from one room to the next.

Palace of Fine Arts

The Palace of Fine Arts is one of San Francisco’s most recognizable landmarks and one of its largest event venues. Inside, planners have approximately 140,000 square feet to work with, including an expansive main floor, an open mezzanine, multiple breakout rooms, theater facilities, and ceiling heights reaching 55 feet.

The scale gives production teams room for substantial staging, audiovisual builds, seating, exhibits, hospitality areas, and guest circulation without forcing every part of the program on top of the next. Outside, the rotunda, colonnades, and lagoon create an arrival experience that feels unmistakably San Francisco.

SVN West

Once home to the legendary Fillmore West, SVN West brings more than 100,000 square feet of flexible event space to a central San Francisco location. The building spans three levels, including a 17,000-square-foot ballroom, large open floors, and a 15,000-square-foot rooftop patio with panoramic city views.

Each level can serve a distinct purpose or work as part of one connected program, giving planners room to separate the experience without scattering guests across different properties. The venue’s music history still comes through in the building, while the open layouts leave plenty of freedom to take it somewhere new.
