Where Can You Find Large Event Venues in San Diego?

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.

Building 177 is a great space and I believe fits 500 theater style, so you should have some flexibility with seating options!

Thanks @EventPlanner343 - this space looks great and have tried connecting via email and contact form, but no luck. We’re also looking at the Lane which is owned by the same group as Building 177. Do you happen to have a contact there?

Hi! I haven't worked in that space since 2019, but the contact then was Aly Schengel ([email hidden]). Hope this helps!!

The Midway and MOPA could be good places to look. Also, the NAT.

@EventPlanner752 Super delayed reply! If being slightly outside San Diego is an option, look at the Mission Pacific hotel in Oceanside, CA. It is dreamy and has a number of indoor spaces and a wonderful courtyard space. There is an amphitheater space right along the beach at the base of the hotel that I believe is rentable through the city.

Where to Find Budget-Friendly Event Venues in Boston and SF?

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.
