Affectionately referred to as Big Blue, this versatile $6.7 million venue, next door to the convention center, offers its guests the ability to paint their exhibit on a blank canvas of opportunity. With 80,000 square feet of column free exhibit space, South Hall is the perfect choice for shows that need a little room or to grow beyond the scope of the San Jose Convention Center.
