NASA Silicon Valley Event Center

The NASA Silicon Valley Event Center (SVEC) is a complete meeting venue at the NASA Research Park, contiguous to NASA Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, California. While our main office is located in historic Building 3, originally used as the Officers’ Club when the Naval Air Station opened in 1933, the SVEC spans multiple buildings and offers fully equipped facilities perfect for all sizes of NASA-related meetings and special events. Our high-tech venues have approximately 13,000 square feet of diverse space, consisting of flexible meeting rooms, exhibit areas, an historic auditorium, and a spacious outdoor patio. The facilities have a qualified event coordinating staff on hand to help with all of your event planning needs.

The SVEC exists to serve the needs of NASA and the Ames Research Center. The only events we host are those that align with the NASA mission. If you are interested in hosting an event at one of our facilities, you will need to have a NASA Ames Civil Servant sponsor. Generally, your sponsor would be the NASA contact that you do business with.
