Be a Little Berkeley!

The hip hub of the San Francisco Bay Area, Berkeley is an inspired setting for great meetings, events, and celebrations. Berkeley's meeting and event venues range from grand ballrooms and conference-ready hotels to dramatic theater spaces and private dining rooms in trendy restaurants. Meetings and conferences gain focus and status from Berkeley’s university-town climate of thought leadership. Green meetings are a local specialty. With exceptional service, a multitude of accommodation options, and exciting after-agenda group activities, Berkeley has true event-appeal. Berkeley is a vibrant and spirited city that will surprise those who still see it as the counter-culture center of the Sixties. Free Speech and flower power are forever in the city’s “DNA,” but Berkeley has evolved into a culinary and cultural destination with a “green” soul. Across Berkeley's 18 square miles, a visitor can hear a symphony, rock concert, or jazz quartet, take in a Broadway-bound play or first-run film, stroll through a redwood forest or a rose garden, shop for handmade jewelry or organic sportswear, play a round of golf or take a yoga class, embark on a sport fishing excursion or listen to a poetry reading. And that’s just for starters. Consummately Californian in its setting but international in its cultural landscape, Berkeley is home to the University of California, Berkeley, which lends a youthful note to the entire city. With its wealth of cultural and social diversity, culinary and shopping opportunities, and recreational pursuits, Berkeley is a small city with a big reputation and offers a compelling range of options to meeting and event planners.
