Exhibit Halls A–CBooth packages, aisle anchors, and entrance statements for shows that fill the full 100,000 square feet or a single hall.
Mission City BallroomThe 22,400-square-foot ballroom for keynotes, galas, and company milestones — stage framing and table-scale greenery that photographs beautifully.
The theaterThe 607-seat theater for keynotes and screenings — stage plantings composed for sightlines and cameras rather than clutter.
Breakouts & prefunctionSession-room accents and lobby clusters that carry the look through all thirty-one meeting rooms and the concourse between them.
Outdoor & patio momentsReceptions and sponsor moments outside the hall — sun-tolerant material specified for exposed placements.

The building where Silicon Valley throws its events.
User conferences, sales kickoffs, developer days, holiday parties — the Santa Clara Convention Center runs on the same corporate calendar we've served for years. We know what a keynote needs to look like on camera, what a sponsor lounge needs to feel like in person, and how to make both happen inside a single move-in window.

Good to know
Santa Clara questions.
What planners and exhibitors ask us about working the convention center.
Do you rent plants for holiday and corporate parties?
Yes. We rent live plants for company holiday parties, office celebrations, employee appreciation events and corporate dinners. Think welcoming entrances, greenery around the bar and relaxed lounge areas. Share your date, venue and preferred look so we can confirm the plant selection, drop-off and pickup. Your team handles placement. See our corporate holiday party case study for a real example.
Do you deliver to the Santa Clara Convention Center?
Send your event schedule, receiving point and venue requirements. We confirm drop-off and pickup windows before booking; your team or authorized venue labor handles interior movement and placement.
Can you work within our show's move-in and move-out schedule?
Send your event schedule, receiving point and venue requirements. We confirm drop-off and pickup windows before booking; your team or authorized venue labor handles interior movement and placement.
Do you coordinate with show management and general contractors?
Yes. For exhibit-hall work we coordinate with your general contractor's schedule and follow the show's delivery and material rules. Tell us who's running the floor and we'll slot in.
Can you provide a Certificate of Insurance for the venue?
Yes. We're fully insured and send COIs directly to the venue or show management ahead of load-in, with whatever additional-insured language is required. Send the requirements with your request and the paperwork is done before your crew arrives.
What does plant rental cost for a Santa Clara event?
Plant rental starts at a $3,000 minimum per event. Pricing is per plant for your agreed rental duration, with planters included. Delivery is a separate one-time $500 charge. Longer rentals are quoted for the full period from drop-off through pickup. Your itemized proposal confirms plant selection, quantities, service responsibilities and the total before booking. Booth packages typically start at our $3,000 minimum; ballroom, mainstage, and multi-space programs can scale beyond $100,000.
Will the plants last a multi-day conference without watering?
Yes. We choose hardy material for hall and ballroom light, water and groom everything before delivery, and one rental price covers up to three days. We don't staff on-site watering. If a plant needs attention, we coordinate a replacement with your event team and venue.
Can one order cover the conference and our offsite party?
Yes. One proposal can cover your program at the convention center plus a dinner or reception at the Marriott, the Hyatt, or a venue nearby — including Levi's Stadium events. One team, one invoice.
How far ahead should we book?
Four to six weeks is ideal, and the spring and fall corporate-event seasons book out earliest. We can often take rush requests — ask, and we'll tell you straight away what's possible for your date.
What if a plant gets damaged mid-event?
We swap it. Contact us when a plant needs attention, and we will coordinate a replacement with your event team and venue.
How do deposits and payment work?
Full payment is due upon receipt of your invoice. Your approved proposal and invoice set out the payment terms and any agreed event-specific exceptions.
