Think in San Francisco
We’re taking over the streets of San Francisco. The center of all the action at Think 2019 will be the George R. Moscone Convention Center, San Francisco’s largest convention and exhibition complex, which spans three blocks and 87 acres. We’re looking forward to putting all that wonderful space to work delivering immersive, educational experiences you’ll never forget. Other venues for various activities will include surrounding hotels—namely the W, the Hilton, and the InterCon—as well as the beautiful Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. Some of the bigger events like keynotes and surprise entertainment will take place in the spacious City View theaters.
We’re also ready to help you make the most of your time away from the conference. After your sessions and in between meetings, you’ll have a blast as you enjoy local hotspots, see the sites, grab a bite to eat, have a cocktail, and experience live entertainment in one of North America’s most exciting cities. You could explore Pier 39, take in the views at Golden Gate Park, visit Alcatraz Island, view masterpieces in the SFMOMA—and the list goes on.
