Oshman Family JCC

Freidenrich Conference Center is a versatile event venue at the Oshman Family JCC in Palo Alto, California, offering an attractive setting for conferences, corporate functions, weddings, private celebrations and cultural events. Located on the fourth floor of the campus, the venue combines a spacious indoor room with an adjoining covered terrace and impressive views towards the Santa Cruz Mountains.

The conference centre can accommodate up to approximately 150 guests in a banquet or theatre-style arrangement, making it suitable for professional meetings, presentations, receptions, dinners, award ceremonies and community gatherings. Its flexible layout allows organisers to adapt the room to different formats, from seated meals and networking receptions to talks, workshops and dance parties.

Event planners have access to built-in audiovisual infrastructure, including sound equipment, lighting controls, projection facilities and two drop-down screens. A built-in kitchenette supports catering operations, while the terrace provides additional space for buffets, outdoor refreshments or an evening reception. The venue is conveniently positioned above the Schultz Cultural Arts Hall, with nearby parking and easy access to restrooms.

The wider Oshman Family JCC campus offers a broad choice of complementary spaces, including a theatre, meeting rooms, outdoor areas, a community park and multipurpose facilities. This makes it possible to create a tailored event programme with indoor and outdoor elements. The venue team also supports private-event enquiries, venue tours, event coordination and access to preferred suppliers, helping organisers plan weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs, business events, trade shows, performances and milestone celebrations in one well-equipped location.
