The James Irvine Foundation Conference Center
The Conference Center is located on the homelands of the Lisjan, Muwekma and Ohlone peoples. We respectfully acknowledge and honor the Indigenous people who have stewarded the land for generations past, present, and future.
Non-profit, business and government organizations alike have found our meeting facilities to be ideal for meetings and groups ranging from six to 100 people. Centrally located in downtown Oakland, the conference center is steps from City Hall, one block from the 12th Street BART Station, and very close to many businesses, restaurants, and hotels.
We’ve got your event covered with great amenities, including:
- 3 conference rooms of varying sizes
- State of the art AV equipment
- High-speed internet access
- Kitchen with a refrigerator, sink, microwave and dishwasher
Pricing
Revenue earned from the conference center supports our community investments in eliminating structural barriers, advancing racial equity, and transforming political, social, and economic outcomes for all East Bay residents. For more information about our work, visit the About Us section.
