Club Sportiva rents its event center in San Jose for company meetings, conferences, product launches and private dinners, with room for up to 400 guests in the largest space. The venue is at 521 Charcot Avenue in Silicon Valley and forms part of a 120,000 square foot facility built around a club for car enthusiasts. You do not need to be a member to hire it, and about 18,000 square feet are available for rental.
Seminars and company events
The event center is set up for business first. The Showroom and the Clubhouse are the two main spaces, and each has a board room for smaller sessions. The club lists meetings, conferences, executive board meetings, speaker panels, product launches, product showcases, brand activations, team building, client entertainment and customer appreciation evenings among the events it has hosted. Award banquets, fundraisers and holiday parties appear on the same list. A hospitality team works with the organiser from planning to the day itself and helps choose caterers, vendors, amenities and services. Organisers can also ask for custom lighting and a theme to dress the space.
Weddings and receptions
The official pages do not present weddings as an offer. They do list rehearsal dinners, birthday parties and holiday parties, so a private dinner or a celebration for a group of up to 100 or 400 guests is possible. Anyone planning a wedding should confirm directly with the club what is accepted.
Rooms and capacities
The Showroom covers 10,000 square feet and holds 400 people, with 250 parking spaces. Its board room seats 28. The Clubhouse covers 7,200 square feet and holds 100 people, with 50 parking spaces. It adds a board room for 12, a mezzanine for 25 and a breakout room for 8. The site also names a Grand Prix Conference Room without giving a capacity. The club describes the full offer as a ballroom, clubhouse, boardroom, conference room, bar, lounge and several breakout rooms, which allows a plenary session in one space and workshops in the smaller ones.
Catering
Outside catering, including bar service, is allowed once the club has approved it. An organiser can keep a usual caterer or choose one that fits the guest profile. The hospitality team can suggest vendors if needed. The site does not describe an in-house kitchen.
History and setting
Club Sportiva was created to bring car enthusiasts together. Membership covers a clubhouse with a game room and lounge, a managed car service with storage, detailing and transport, and a car share program with performance cars. The event center is the part of the facility open to everyone. The club also runs satellite clubhouses in Los Angeles, Monterey and San Carlos, but the rental details above apply to the main clubhouse in San Jose.
