We could use some help from this amazing community -- we are trying to source venues in Boston and SF for June and our client has little to no money. We've looked at Loft on Two in Boston - and similar locations in SF (but they are just too pricey).
1 1/2 day program
150 people in SF and 75 people in BOS
Need main presentation room + 2 small breakout rooms + space to serve lunch
If the venue has built in AV, that is a plus b/c our AV budget is super small too.
Any ideas you may have is much appreciated.
@EventPlanner697 I have a nonprofit client that uses this space in Berkley, https://browercenter.org/rental-spaces/ . They offer discounts for nonprofit, education, and government.
I was going to mention that you will probably have to go outside of the city with no budget. SF is extremely expensive.
last year Julia Morgan Room was somewhat reasonable - take a look here - I can make an intro - https://juliamorganballroom.com/
https://publicsf.com/ in SF hosts the moth (live storytelling) and are super cost effective. They have in-house AV 🙂
For SF---Convene is an exceptional meeting space with lots of in-house amenities.
Agree @EventPlanner4256 - we love Convene. Unfortunately they are just a little too far north of our budget cap.
Convene is amazing but comes with the whooping $100K+ per day price tag
@EventPlanner697 if you need a good AV I have a crew with a decent price in SF.
I really like the Presidio GG Club: https://www.wedgewoodweddings.com/goldengateclub?matchtype=p&device=c&utm_source=google&u[…]9fSUvWt-iJLYDfvmJrC_sOdqnuy05FodmUAlbSoutEhoCwSUQAvD_BwE
Great natural light
Breakout spaces
AV
Parking
Affordable
I am looking for a premium/high end event space for about 100 people for a one day event in November that also has space for breakouts in San Francisco. Not sure if anyone knows of any private spots or function space that would be accommodating to a small group with plenty of space for smaller group meetings.

Looking for a DMC/event production company recommendation to help me with the following (*highly ambitious) project: Company kick off event (2-3 day offsite, local + intl travel from Chile) for 1200 people in Jan 2024. Our CFO wants to see 3 budget scenarios for an event in Vegas, SF and 1 other location (Florida or Arizona) by EOW. Recognizing it's not realistic to pull detailed quotes & availability by then, but would love to provide a ballpark p/person estimate at least. Thank you!
<!here>, we're kicking off this channel to be a dedicated space to support one another as event tech continues to rapidly evolve. This post on LinkedIn inspired me to ask - are you willing to share your event tech stack with the group here? It might help inspire other members to look into new solutions, or ask for your more specific advice or opinion on tech you currently use. As a reminder, we also have the #ai-for-events channel for those interested.
