 San Jose McEnery Convention Center — Key Facts for Exhibitors

Here’s what makes SJMC one of the most flexible and well-connected venues in Northern California, and what each fact means for your exhibit:

What sets SJMC apart from many larger convention centers is its right-sized, walkable footprint combined with genuine flexibility — 165,000 sq. ft. of contiguous exhibit space that can host a major tech convention, or be broken into smaller configurations for specialty and regional trade shows. Add in its downtown Silicon Valley location, and you have a venue built for exhibitors who want both scale and accessibility.

 SJMC Venue Layout — Where Will Your Booth Be?

The San Jose McEnery Convention Center is organized across two levels, each offering distinct opportunities for exhibitors. Interior Today LLC has built exhibits throughout this venue and understands how to make the most of every space:

Space	Level	Best For	Recommended Booth Type
Exhibit Halls (3 halls)	Upper Level	Major trade shows, tech conventions, expos	Island, peninsula, double-deck — any size
Executive Ballroom	Upper Level	Galas, banquets, award ceremonies	Custom branded stage sets, freestanding displays
Grand Ballroom	Upper Level	Large-format receptions and keynote events	Branded backdrops, sponsor activation zones
Prefunction Concourse	Lower Level	Registration and pre-show branding	Branded kiosks, welcome displays, digital signage
The Hub (Reception Foyer)	Lower Level	Networking receptions, VIP mingling	Elegant pop-up displays, hanging signage
Outdoor Plaza	Lower Level	Outdoor brand activations, breaks	Weatherproof modular structures, branded canopies

Knowing which hall and level your show occupies matters. Ceiling heights, loading dock proximity, natural lighting in the lower-level lobby lounge, and power grid access all differ across the venue. Our design team plans around these details before a single panel is fabricated.
