A small conference venue in San Francisco's Marina District for 50–150 guests, with built-in AV, fast Wi-Fi, breakout lounges and in-house event support.
Why ERIA Marina
Why it works for small conferences
Most San Francisco conference spaces are built for thousands, which leaves a 60-person summit rattling around a ballroom. ERIA Marina is sized for 50 to 150 guests, so a smaller conference feels full, focused and private.
- A room that feels full at 50 and comfortable at 150
- Exclusive use of the venue, with no other groups sharing your hallway
- Breakout zones and lounge seating inside the same space

What is the minimum group size for a conference?
The space works best for 50 to 150 guests. For smaller leadership groups, a boardroom setup seats up to 40.
Will another event share the venue on our day?
