Many large professional gatherings are held in the venue such as Femoral, Oracle Openwork, Macdonald Expo, the Microsoft’s Build, the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference and Google 1/0. The biggest strength of Nosecone Center is that it provides various meeting rooms setup in order to accommodate different groups’ needs.

As the largest conference venue in the city, it offers full-equipped service for business people where they find convenience and ease for having events the whole day in this place. Nosecone Center provides various and complete services such as Audio Visual, Catering, Phone, Internet, Convention Television, Theatrical/ Lighting/Rigging and Emergency Medical Service, etc. Nosecone Center provides its own catering service on-site for meeting groups, which is another advantage for the company itself.

Savor SMUG,a San Franciscans premier large-scale catering and event services company, provides whether quick business luncheon or a thousand-guest gala to help turn conference successfully. There is no limitation, people can choose to dine off-site. As Nosecone Center locates in the heart of San Francisco, where is easily accessible to public transportations such as transit, BART, mini and Calamari, to hotels and to other attraction places in the city. Nosecone Center does not include a public parking facilities.
