Monterey Conference Center

The Monterey Conference Center is a premier meeting facility located just steps from the waterfront in northern California, offering an inspiring setting on the edge of the largest marine sanctuary in the United States, Monterey Bay. The center features approximately 70,000 square feet of versatile meeting space spread across three levels, including a grand exhibit hall, multiple ballrooms, a luxurious boardroom, breakout rooms, patios, galleries, terraces, and banquet facilities. Its modern design and recent $60 million renovation have enhanced flexibility and refreshed the space to meet diverse event needs. Connected to the Portola Hotel & Spa and the Monterey Marriott, the venue provides access to 720 sleeping rooms, with additional accommodations nearby. Guests can enjoy views of playful sea otters, pelicans, harbor seals, and sea lions as they explore nearby Fisherman's Wharf and the world-renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium. The center is ideal for conferences, exhibitions, and corporate events, supported by onsite catering, AV capabilities, and wheelchair accessibility. Monterey’s rich history as California's first capital and its reputation as the Language Capital of the World add cultural depth to any visit. Nearby attractions include the famous Pebble Beach Golf Links, just ten minutes away, and the charming village of Carmel-by-the-Sea, five minutes from downtown. The Monterey Conference Center is a 2023 Northstar Stella Award Winner for Best Conference Center globally and holds LEED Platinum certification, underscoring its commitment to sustainability and excellence.
