Convene, a global hospitality company that designs, builds, and manages meeting, event, and office spaces, welcomed its first San Francisco property with a grand opening on Nov. 9. Named Convene 100 Stockton, the venue joins Convene’s portfolio of properties across the country, including locations in Washington, D.C.; Chicago, Illinois; New York City, New York; Boston, Massachusetts; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and more.
“Hospitality is at the core of everything Convene does—that means fully anticipating client needs and providing everything required to ensure a seamless meeting and event experience,” says Blake Ogilvie, regional vice president of operations at Convene, who oversees the western region including the Chicago, Illinois, and San Francisco markets. “We are a true partner for planners, and our venues offer thoughtfully designed spaces to maximize collaboration and productivity.”
The San Francisco location has a capacity to host groups of up to 1,900 with a full property buyout. The venue in its entirety spans 53,000 square feet and features a ground-floor lobby with exclusive elevator access for eventgoers attending a gathering in the primary venue spaces located on the fourth and fifth floors. There are a total of seven on-site individual meeting spaces, the largest of which can accommodate up to 670 people. “Convene also thoughtfully integrates technology into its meeting spaces, providing built-in video cameras, microphones, speakers, and video screens, allowing clients to seamlessly extend the event to virtual participants,” adds Ogilvie.
