Hi all! We're looking for an event to bring ~30 folks to in San Francisco in November. Things like sporting events suites (but on a weekday - so no 49ers, and the Warriors are a no-go) or big public events where we can treat our people like VIPs. Any locals have any suggestions? TY!
hey Ryan, just a heads up about November in SF - the city is hosting APEC Meeting - 11/12-11/18. They will be doing some major safety measures, there are going to be a lot of traffic, hotels are booked, homeland security is no joke. One of my events was forced to change the dates. I’d be super careful! https://www.apec2023sf.org/
the event they “asked” us to move was planned the week prior on 11/08-11/09
Very helpful to know! Thank you!
of course.
You could take them out on the San Francisco Giant's Yacht...
no game, but an incredible experience
SF proper or greater Bay Area?
Its a little more conventional, but you could host a party at the Top of the Mark Hopkins? Or maybe a private luau at the Tonga room at the Fairmont across the street? Its a fun vibe, especially with the fake rain storm and floating bandstand.
@EventPlanner910 That yacht is such a cool option! Will definitely look into that. And thank you for the other recs as well.
@EventPlanner276 Preferably SF proper or very close to it
last time i attended the MLB Conference the main guy there was Joey, here's his contact: [email hidden]
Thank you!
Also, how do I get an invite to the MLB Conference? That sounds amazing
lolol by working in events for an MLB front office team (i used to work for the Braves) - i am not invited anymore either but can still call someone if anyone needs anything in a particular market! 😂
Dream job!
cross from Golden Gate Bridge is Cavallo Point Lodge. They have cooking classes which can be fun, plus the hotel and the restaurant are awesome. Amazing view of the GGB.
Also, Fifth Arrow -industrial-chic haunt with a 3-lane bowling alley, retro games, New American fare & cocktails. https://www.fiftharrow.com/
Thank you @EventPlanner176!

not sure how late into November you're targetting, and if it HAS to be in SF but Paypal Park in SJ offers VIP experiences at a VERY fun and immersive experience https://enchantchristmas.com/san-jose-ca-paypal-park/?utm_source=partner&utm_medium=san%20jose%20earthquakes&utm_campaign=
Hi everyone! Does anyone have any venue recommendations in San Francisco (capacity: 3,000)?
Hello, I am looking for a unique venue in SF area for back to back events Sept 27 & 28, private intimate tequila dinner pairing with a michelin star chef for 30 people each evening. Looking for a place with a view and not a bar or restaurant.
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 great event space in San Francisco for ~130-150 people! One day event with one theater for general session and one larger networking space. Open to hotel or non hotel. Any recs? 🪩
Hi all, I am looking high-end/premium experience suggestions in SF for 15 people. Half/half male/female and open to day activities or dinner. Thank you in advance for your time.

Hi! Looking for recommendations for a network (Internet) consulting firm that can work within a sound stage to provide network assessment/review, WiFi networking, design/implementation/maintenance/monitoring, etc. for a live broadcast event. Preference for LA-based.
Hi all, really excited to be a part of this community!
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.
Hey everyone! Does anyone know a good event photographer in SF?
hi SF peeps! What's the best security company (for onsite at events) you've worked with lately?
Anyone use any vendors that have been amazing with unique client gifts or have ideas for a great gift this year? My team handles holiday gifting also and coming up with the gift each year is always a challenge!
Hi all! Does anyone have any recommendations for a photographer in San Francisco. Just need one for roughly 2-3 hours for a private dinner in October. Thank you! 💜
Looking for examples of large seamless screens (that are lifesize), perhaps used as wayfinders or ideally were digital photo op backdrops?
Hi all! Does anyone have a recommendation for a video editor? I’m looking for someone that can help us edit virtual and in-person session recordings to use for replays/on demand content
Hi - Looking for referrals for a private chef in the SF Bay Area for a small dinner in November. Someone who is on the more modest to average price point would be ideal vs someone who is $$$.
Hi all! Has anyone used ON24 for a large 1000 person virtual event? Do you know if it has robust capabilities?
Looking for a great SF restaurant private room, ideally 30-50 people. Needs to be fully private (not open to the main room of a restaurant).
Hi All! Gearing up to increase our networking virtual events again this winter and wondering if anyone has recs for companies you've worked with for tasting events. We've worked with LMH Experiences, In Good Taste and some one off distributors, but exploring new options. We've found most success with wine tastings or cocktail making events.
Hi all! Favorite resort venues in the northern California region? This group has done CordeValle, Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay, etc. Thank you!
Anyone have a recommendation for a Bay Area DJ? Relatively last minute — need for next Wednesday 11/9. 2-3 hour gig in the evening (4-7ish)
Does anyone know of cool venue space for 300 people (main stage), sponsor area and meals in San Diego? In 2019 they were at the Bricks which is unfortunately too small for them. Looking at hotel options, but they would rather a venue. Also looking at the new children’s museum.
What virtual event platform do you all use? Has anyone ever used Goldcast? I am looking to host a half day virtual user conference in the spring. Whatever we pick must have multi track capabilities and a sponsor showcase area. We currently use Demio for webinars (very simple tool) and tried AirMeet (hated it).
Anyone planning a SKO and select great swag for their team? Budget is TBD but we have a pretty high bar for swag — Vuori joggers, Fellow mugs, Veja sneaks...
Good morning, all! Does anyone have any recommendations for in-person mixology class vendors? Looking specifically for New York and San Francisco. Thank you! Also, if anyone is ever looking for a mixology class in New Orleans, we had the BEST expereince at the New Orleans Drink Lab. Highly recommend!
