Moscone Center, 747 Howard St, San Francisco, CA 94103Directions

About this venue

Located in the urban heart of San Francisco's SoMa district, The Moscone Center is easily accessible by transit. The campus comprises three interconnected buildings—Moscone North, Moscone South, and Moscone West—with Moscone West at 800 Howard St at the corner of Fourth and Howard streets. Spanning North, South, and West halls, it offers over two million square feet of flexible space, advanced event technology, and modern meeting rooms, plus pioneering sustainability initiatives including major energy savings and one of the region's largest rooftop solar arrays. For RSAC, the show occupies two large Expo spaces—North Expo and South Expo, plus session rooms, briefing centers, and common areas. Various common areas within the Moscone Center can be used for impromptu and informal meetings.

Parking

The Moscone Center does not have on-site parking. For information about parking around The Moscone Center, the venue directs visitors to its parking page. There are several public parking garages in the immediate neighborhood, as well as valet parking service offered at most nearby hotels.

  • Nearby public garages include the Fifth & Mission/Yerba Buena garage and the Hearst/Jessie Square garage, both within a short walk.
  • Street parking around Moscone Center is very limited, heavily metered, and includes many commercial and passenger loading zones, especially on Howard, Third, and Fourth Streets—time limits, peak-hour tow-away restrictions, and high demand make street parking unreliable during events.
  • For bike parking, see BikeLink for secure parking locations in the neighborhood.
  • Reserving in advance via SpotHero or ParkMobile is recommended during major conferences.
