1. Can the Bureau help me find a hotel and/or facility for my meeting or convention?
 

The Bureau provides a free lead service to help you locate guest rooms and meeting space. You can complete a simple form and submit your meeting information online by using our Book A Meeting service. A sales manager will contact you right away and work with you to find the rooms and meeting space you need. You can also reach us by e-mail at convention-sales@sfcvb.org or by phone at 415-227-2616.
2. Can the Bureau help me book an off-site meeting/event/banquet? How do I obtain venue pricing and availability?
 

We can forward your request for proposal to our members that can accommodate your event requirements. Simply complete our Find a Venue form by clicking here. Our convention services team will contact you with any questions and get the site selection process started. Each member will need to submit their own pricing and availability as the SFCVB does not provide this information.
