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. BESPOKE Combining sophistication with state-of-the-art infrastructure, this venue can be tailored to fit your needs. Modular air walls allow Bespoke to build any environment, whether your event necessitates a 360-degree stage or enough room to construct an installation. The venue’s digital façade includes three 14-foot gestural screens and three 84-inch touchscreens, ideal for interactive displays of your company logo, event sponsors or other powerful content to engage attendees. BRELLA 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. THE MIDWAY 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 3-D 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. UNICORN TECH TOURS It’s hard to think of a city with a higher concentration of big-name tech companies and buzzy start-ups than San Francisco. Unicorn Tech Tours is a unique free app that takes advantage of this phenomenon, turning the city into a living museum of tech. Starting anywhere in the city, attendees can dive deep and listen to an audio tour that directs them to some of San Francisco’s most famous tech hot spots, spotlighting “unicorns”— companies worth more than $1 billion in equity. GET FEEDBACK 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.
