The Howard

The Howard is a two-floor event venue in San Francisco's SoMa district, a short walk from Moscone Convention Center. Its location suits organisers planning corporate events around major conferences, as well as receptions and branded programmes in the city centre.

The venue offers approximately 12,000 square feet of adaptable space. Organisers can plan a standing reception for more than 650 guests or a seated event for around 250. The layout can accommodate presentations, executive meetings, sponsor demonstrations, breakout sessions, networking and hospitality, with different activities arranged across the two floors. Meeting rooms can also be installed to support programmes that need smaller spaces alongside a main gathering area.

The Howard is particularly suited to multi-part corporate events, where guests may move between presentations, discussions and social gatherings during the day. Several bars are available on site, and the venue's operator can help coordinate catering, audiovisual production, internet, staging and event-day service staff. This allows organisers to discuss both the room layout and practical production requirements with the venue team.

For planners comparing event venues near Moscone, The Howard offers a central address and a sizeable indoor setting that can be configured for different formats. It can serve as a base for convention-week activity, a location for a large corporate reception, or a venue for panels and sponsor activations. The two-floor arrangement gives organisers room to shape the guest experience around their programme, whether they need a presentation-led setup, space for networking, or a combination of both.
