San Francisco is one of the world’s foremost cities for emerging tech, offering a wide variety of exciting ways to engage and motivate your group outside of the conference room. Discover innovative venues, experiences and services that enhance events and increase ROI for both planners and attendees.
Help attendees form lasting and meaningful connections at your event with San Francisco-based Brella, a premier networking platform powered by artificial intelligence. Brella’s app guides attendees in choosing their interests and event goals, then uses intent-based matchmaking to suggest likeminded people to meet. Brella also provides powerful data for planners, allowing you to measure engagement, track meeting rates and learn attendees' goals. Brella also gives event sponsors measurable exposure with the option to promote them directly in the platform.
Design an immersive experience for your attendees at this creative complex in the thick of the Dogpatch neighborhood. The Midway is a 40,000-square-foot space that can be transformed into virtually anything your imagination desires, inviting your guests to explore and be inspired.
One of the venue’s most distinctive features is the Envelop Lounge, a fully immersive 360-degree sound experience that specializes in 3D audio and ambisonic systems that can pair with virtual and augmented reality platforms. Other spaces include a projection room — ideal for dance parties, art presentations and dining experiences — and studios set up to host events that highlight the intersection of art and technology.
The latest world-changing innovation to debut in San Francisco is Waymo, the all-electric autonomous-vehicle service. Powered by groundbreaking artificial intelligence and sensors that can easily navigate complex urban environments, Waymo offers visitors a safe, sustainable and futuristic way to get around the city. Just download the app and be on your way!
Even if the event itself goes off without a hitch, determining quantifiable success can be tricky. GetFeedback, a San Francisco-based survey solution company, simplifies the process by providing a platform to quickly and easily gather attendee sentiment post-event. Send a mobile-friendly follow-up survey that highlights key moments and important takeaways while collecting actionable feedback from your guests.
