San Jose McEnery Convention Center

The San Jose McEnery Convention Center sits in the center of Downtown and boasts hundreds of varied events a year. From the huge draw of Fanime, the Silicon Valley Auto Show, Silicon Valley Comic Con, annual tech conferences, and specialty events, meetings and tradeshows, the Center is buzzing year-round – it’s a good place to start if you’re looking for things to do in San Jose. The interactive public art installation "Idea Tree" stands at the front of the Center, which underwent a massive $130 million renovation and expansion and debuted its new makeover in October 2013.
