South San Francisco Conference Center offers ideal location for doing business in
The Business Destinations Travel Awards, now in its sixth year, has named the South San Francisco Conference Center as North America’s Best Meeting and Conference Center.
The Business Destination Travel Awards gather together the leading lights in business travel – from airports and conference centers to luxury hotels and apartment complexes. The awards are voted for by business travelers from across the globe – a diverse cross section of corporate travel executives and high-end commuters from Fortune 500 companies, MICE solution providers, and members of the ACTE; as well as other influential members of the business travel community.
“We’re honored that our business travelers have voted our conference center as the Best Meetings and Conference Center in North America,” said Dean Grubl, South San Francisco Conference Center Executive Director. “We have a great team internally that makes sure all of our events run smoothly and successfully, so I’m proud that they are being recognized for the work they do.”
South San Francisco’s Conference Center is north of San Francisco International Airport and only 15 minutes away from Silicon Valley, which makes getting to it easy. The center offers complimentary parking, as well as a free weekday shuttle to and from the South San Francisco BART station and CalTrain station. In addition, visitors have access to over 3,000 hotel rooms and motel lodgings.
The Center has 20,500 square feet of meeting space and an additional 3,600 square feet of pre-function space surrounding its ballroom. In addition, in November 2011, the Convention Center became the first business in the region to earn The Bay Area Green Business Certification.
“Not only is it important for us to offer our customers top notch service and support, but it’s also important that we are acting in a sustainable manner,” continued Grubl.
As stated in the Business Destinations magazine, “Equipped with some of the world’s most advanced business technology, superb green credentials and a team possessing impressive local knowledge, it is unsurprising that the center has been voted Best Meetings an Conference Center, North America.”
