ERIA Marina · San Francisco
Planning a 50-person conference in San Francisco? ERIA Marina seats 50 comfortably in classroom, boardroom or rounds, with AV, Wi-Fi and catering included.
Why ERIA Marina
Why it works for 50-person conferences
Fifty people is an awkward number for most venues: too many for a meeting room, too few for a hall. At ERIA Marina, 50 guests fit a classroom or rounds layout with space left for a coffee station, a registration table and a lounge corner.
- Classroom seating for 50 with room to spread out
- Space for sponsor tables or a demo corner beside the seating
- An intimate reception at the bar once sessions close

FAQ
Questions about 50-person conferences
Is ERIA Marina too big for 50 people?
No. Fifty guests fit a classroom or rounds layout comfortably, and the extra floor space becomes a lounge or sponsor area rather than empty room.
Which layout suits a 50-person conference best?
Classroom (up to 80) for sessions where people take notes, or rounds (up to 100) when you want table discussions and a seated meal.
Can we add a small exhibit or sponsor area?
Yes. At 50 guests there is room for a few sponsor or demo tables alongside the seating.
