San Jose McEnery Convention Center

 

 

The San Jose McEnery Convention Center sits in the center of Downtown and boasts hundreds of varied events a year. From the huge draw of Fanime, the Silicon Valley Auto Show, Silicon Valley Comic Con, annual tech conferences, and specialty events, meetings and tradeshows, the Center is buzzing year-round – it’s a good place to start if you’re looking for things to do in San Jose. The interactive public art installation "Idea Tree" stands at the front of the Center, which underwent a massive $130 million renovation and expansion and debuted its new makeover in October 2013. For rental of the San Jose Convention Center, see our Meetings page, which includes venue specs, service highlights and contact information.
