Welcome to the Santa Clara Convention Center! We are ready to provide you with the assistance you need to produce a successful event.

Whether you are planning a convention, trade show, public show, meeting, banquet or other type of event, this Facilities Guide is designed to provide the information you need for your event planning process. More detailed information will be provided through the contracting process and by the Event Manager assigned to your event.

Please think of this Manual as a planning tool and a reference. We encourage you to read the entire guide. If nothing else, however, please do review the section titled "If you don't read anything else, read this!" This section highlights essential information and critical dates every event must adhere to on one page.

We are proud of our Center and the service we provide. Our goal is to be - "Your Partner in Excellence".

At the conclusion of your event, you will receive an evaluation form. We encourage you to return it with your comments. I'd like to acknowledge the people who contribute to our success. And, if we fail to measure up to your expectations, we need to know in order to improve. Thank you again for giving us the opportunity to host your event!
