The San Jose McEnery Convention Center is a convention center in Downtown San Jose, California. The 550,000-square-foot (51,000 m2) Main Hall is the largest convention center in Silicon Valley. It has hosted technology conferences such as the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference and Facebook F8, as well as fan conventions including FanimeCon and GalaxyCon.
The center opened in 1989, supplementing a convention hall at the San Jose Civic, later renamed Parkside Hall, which was demolished in 2019. It is named for Tom McEnery, a former mayor of San Jose. The South Hall, an 80,000-square-foot (7,400 m2) tent-like structure, was added in 2005, and the Main Hall was renovated and expanded in 2013. The venue is managed by Team San Jose, which also operates several nearby event spaces.
