> San Francisco was perceived as very trendy at one time. It just isn’t anymore Companies are certainly not moving their conferences to San Jose because it's a more trendy city. San Jose is nice but it's not San Francisco. I fly in to San Jose regularly from Australia but San Francisco is hands down where I'd want to be given the choice. With Moscone out of action and the San Francisco Design Concourse a block of Luxury apartments there just simply isn't the venues to hold conferences of different sizes in San Francisco. Even when Moscone was an option, event organisers from moderate sized companies consider the space too large and potentially awkward if they don't hit attendance numbers. Going south for medium-to-large events is now the only option.
