bullet  Conferences

In what better environment to hold a conference?

This is Presentation Center . . . much more inviting than a hotel, and much more cost-effective than comparable facilities. Surrounded by nature and supported by attentive staff, your group will be able to experience the very most from its time here. And, the flexible configuration of our facilities guarantees the privacy to fully concentrate on your particular goals.

ConferenceThe professional and business organizations that make use of Presentation Center's unique location appreciate the close and convenient proximity to the center of Silicon Valley (just 20 minutes from Mineta San Jose International Airport) coupled with being removed from TV, faxes and email.

Yet, for those groups that need it, we provide wireless Internet access for guests in all public areas and conference rooms, wired access in some locations, and AV equipment for loan or a modest rental fee.

Few regret the spotty cell phone reception saying it aids in truly being away from the office!

For those out-of-session times, we provide a wide variety of recreational opportunities from hiking on our own trails or in the Mid-Peninsula Open Space Preserve, to sports, to indoor games and cozy conversation areas. The coffee room in our Main Building is open around the clock, and the Dining Room is open until 10:00 PM for people to work informally in small groups, relax with colleagues, and enjoy complimentary beverages.

 

Everyone at Presentation Center was wonderful—extremely helpful and friendly. The meals were excellent, the center is lovely, and we especially enjoyed having our meeting in the "green" LEED Gold Certified Welcoming Center.

I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you again for the wonderful and productive time we had at Presentation Center. We were able to get a lot of work done in the day that we spent there. I think that this was due to the very clear and calm atmosphere that Presentation Center exudes.

...our whole experience was wonderful from the meetings, to lunch and dinner to the inspiring tour that we were given of your green building. If I ever have any more meetings or retreats I will be certain to call you...

Thanks again,
