In this section, you’ll find some event themes to help you better see what Oracle has to offer.
Coming in Clutch: Corporate Conference
Imagine you’re planning a corporate meeting or conference for roughly 1,000 people. Hosting at Oracle Park allows you to keep everything on-site.
The following sample itinerary illustrates how such an event might unfold:
- • Start with breakfast at the Gotham Clubhouse, a speakeasy-style event space with vintage charm. Allow your guests to start the day with a breakfast catered inside Gotham’s wood-lined walls.
- • From there, you can advance to the conference opening or keynote address, which will be hosted in an appropriately sized venue. For smaller meetings, the King Street or 3rd Street Club Level spaces can accommodate 500 and 300 guests, respectively.
- • For conferences with breakout sessions, Oracle Park’s luxury suites offer an intimate but modern setup, complete with any audio-video capabilities your presenters may need.
- • Depending on the size of your conference, you might conclude with an elegant dinner in one of the club-level rooms or even on the field itself.
The Launch Angle: Product Launch at the Waterfront
Oracle Park’s event space also offers unique views, making it an extraordinary place to launch a new product. So why not invite guests to a waterfront gala to debut your latest product?
- • Roll out the red carpet (literally) and welcome your guests in style. Depending on where you plan to hold your event, you could create a grand entrance at Willie Mays Plaza, the Club Level entrances, or the Marina Gate by McCovey Cove entrance.
- • Invite your guests to the Cloud Club for a swanky cocktail hour with stunning views of the City by the Bay.
- • After cocktail hour, you can dine at the Alaska Airlines Club Level. With floor-to-ceiling windows, your guests will enjoy the views as they dine in elegance. This event space also features audio-video connections, allowing you to reveal your new product with a memorable presentation.
- • Finally, you can end the night with a bang by having guests head down to the McCovey Cove Promenade for a fireworks show over the water.
Strengthening Our Lineup: Team Building Activity
No matter the size of your team, Oracle Park is the perfect place for your organization’s team-building events, for anywhere from 500-1,000 guests.
You might plan an event like this:
- • Arrival at Willie Mays Plaza, affording your guests the star-studded entrance they deserve.
- • Next, have them head to the Alaska Airlines Club Level, where they’ll have breakfast and listen to opening remarks. Then, the real fun begins.
- • Invite your guests onto the field. Depending on your company’s makeup, you might offer friendly competitions revolving around batting practice, throwing accuracy, or the chance to run the bases. For the less athletically inclined, you could get creative using the dugout spaces. Have your employees come up with third-base coach-inspired hand signals for their everyday activities. This can be a fun, silly way to discuss how to avoid communication breakdowns.
- • For lunch, invite your team to enjoy a catered picnic lunch on the field. They can spread out a blanket and enjoy the bay breeze while they dine on four-star fare.
- • After lunch, you could offer a group private tour of the stadium or, for those who aren’t interested, set up some lounges (?) so they can enjoy the bay views at the Marina gate.
- • Finally, gather everybody back together after the event for a celebrity speaker who can hit home a point you want everyone to hear. You can talk about achieving success, but it might mean more coming from a World Series champion. Depending on the size of your group, the Club Level suites might be a great place to host.
