Fun Facts

The Moscone Center is named in honor of George Moscone, who served as the Mayor of San Francisco from 1976 until his assassination in 1978.

With over 2 million square feet of space, it's one of the largest convention and exhibition complexes in the United States.

The center features a 50,000 square foot green roof, which helps reduce the urban heat island effect and provides a habitat for local wildlife.

It has hosted numerous significant tech events, including Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference and Google's I/O conference.

The center has seen several expansions since its opening in 1981, with the latest completed in 2019, adding more than 500,000 square feet of space.

The center's design incorporates natural light and open spaces, making it a pleasant environment for attendees and exhibitors alike.

Aside from tech conferences, it hosts a variety of cultural and artistic events, reflecting San Francisco's diverse community.
