We’ve got a one-of-a-kind event experience planned at the San Jose Convention Center on Oct. 3 and 4, complete with a solutions expo hall, hands-on labs, and plenty of opportunities to network and learn from your peers. And there’s still time to register to join us onsite! Here are a few things you need to know before you go:
What to bring and what to leave at home
Your packing list should include:
- Your laptop and any device chargers to take notes and participate in our sessions during Zoomtopia
- Business cards, if you want to connect with others
We strongly encourage you to leave large bags and items you won’t want to carry around at home or in your hotel room. We won’t have a coat check or bag storage area, and we can’t be responsible for items that are left unattended.
Getting there
The onsite portion of Zoomtopia 2023 will be at the San Jose Convention Center in downtown San Jose, California — here’s some information on how to get there and where to park.
Registration
Registration is located on the Parkway level of the San Jose Convention Center (near the main entrance off San Carlos Street). All attendees will go through a security checkpoint when entering the venue and will need to present their photo ID at registration in order to pick up their badge.
Registration hours:
- Monday, Oct. 2, 1-5 p.m.
- Tuesday, Oct. 3, 6:30 a.m.-5 p.m.
- Wednesday, Oct. 4, 7 a.m.-3 p.m.
Only registered attendees will be allowed at the conference and Celebration of Happiness. We aren’t able to accommodate plus-ones, including children, at the event.


Services and support
Here’s some additional information you might need to know about the event experience:
- Language services: American Sign Language services will be provided onsite in San Jose and available for virtual attendees on Zoom Events. All keynotes will have Japanese translations via headsets while streamed sessions will provide remote translations in Spanish and Portuguese. International attendees who would like language services can pick up a headset in Exhibit Hall 1.
- Accessibility: Priority seating will be provided for in-person attendees who have accessibility needs.
- Emergency broadcast test: There will be a planned test of the National Emergency Broadcast system on Wednesday, Oct. 4, between 11:20-11:50 a.m. PT. The Zoomtopia security and show management teams will be monitoring this closely in partnership with the venue.
- Health and wellness: The event will be staffed with contracted emergency medical technicians (EMTs) who are prepared to intervene in case of any medical issues that arise. If anyone is experiencing any cold or flu-type symptoms, we ask that you please exit the venue. No COVID-19 tests will be administered onsite. Medical staff will be stationed within Hall 3 of the expo floor, in a dedicated office just off the main concourse (look for the EMT / First Aid sign).
Join us at the Celebration of Happiness
Wrap up Zoomtopia 2023 with our Celebration of Happiness at the end of day 2 on Wednesday, Oct. 4. Kick back and enjoy an evening of fun, starting with our happy hour networking event and capped off by our musical guests: the Chris Weaver Band and Ludacris!
- Happy Hour: 4:30-6:30 p.m. at Innovation Plaza
- Concert: 6:30-9 p.m. at San Jose Civic Center
Be sure to pick up your wristband at registration or at pop-up booths on the upper level concourse and expo floor on Wednesday, Oct. 4. The wristband will give you access to the Celebration of Happiness so you won’t need to wear your badge.
