Sails Pavilion that provides an open-air feel. The exhibit space recently underwent a complete renovation and now allows for meeting planners to customize lighting of the iconic Sails Pavilion roof. The glass-enclosed meeting space features an industry standard trade show floor, high-tech lighting and a cooling and heating system for maximum comfort year-round. The column-free space is equipped for a variety of events, from trade shows and receptions to banquets and galas. The Sails Pavilion is flanked by two ballroom foyers that provide excellent prefunction space. Receptions, coffee breaks and registration activities can take place throughout these areas. Adjacent to the foyers are two ballrooms, each with over 40,000 sq. ft. Designed for maximum flexibility, both ballrooms can be easily divided into smaller sections. Many of our 72 multi-function meeting rooms are accessible via glass corridors. Several meeting rooms open out to expansive terraces overlooking the Bay, the perfect place for attendees to soak up s year-round sunshine.
