Seminars and company events
The San Diego Made Factory hosts seminars, networking evenings, workshops, conferences and company parties for up to 200 guests in its downstairs warehouse and up to 75 on its upper floor. The Factory is at 2031 Commercial Street in Logan Heights, near downtown San Diego, and is run by San Diego Made, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
Smaller business events usually go upstairs. This floor of about 1,400 square feet is the climate-controlled coworking level, offered for seminars, networking events and conferences of up to 75 people. Downstairs, the creative warehouse of 1,700 to 2,200 square feet takes up to 200 and suits larger gatherings, product showcases, team celebrations and pop-up formats. A hallway of about 500 square feet can be added for food, games or a bar. Companies that want the whole building can book a full Factory buyout.
Each booking comes with an on-site event coordinator. An in-house AV team supplies rental equipment, and the Factory keeps an inventory of event furniture, so organizers do not have to bring tables and seating from outside. The building also holds studios, offices, podcast rooms and a conference room used by its members, which gives events a working, local-business feel rather than a hotel setting.
Weddings and receptions
The downstairs warehouse is offered for weddings and private parties, as well as pop-up markets, art shows and photo shoots. Couples choose food, bar and rental vendors from the Factory's preferred list and can use the hallway as a separate bar or dining area next to the main room.
Rooms and capacities
The downstairs event space measures 1,700 to 2,200 square feet and takes up to 200 guests in a warehouse setting. The hallway adds about 500 square feet for food, games or a bar. The upstairs event space measures about 1,400 square feet, is climate controlled and takes up to 75 guests. The Factory publishes maximum figures only, without separate seated and standing counts, so the layout is confirmed with the coordinator. A buyout combines all spaces.
Catering
There is no in-house restaurant or caterer. Organizers book food and bar services from the preferred vendor list, which also covers rentals, and caterers can use a shared kitchen in the building.
History and setting
San Diego Made runs the Factory as a creative hub with markets, community membership, studios, offices and podcast rooms under one roof. Its own calendar includes workshops, exhibitions, concerts and monthly community gatherings, so the building is set up for public events and creative crowds. Renting the event space supports the nonprofit's programs.
Getting there
The Factory is in Logan Heights, a short drive from downtown San Diego, on Commercial Street. San Diego International Airport is the nearest airport. Organizers can book a tour of the event space before sending a request, which helps when planning a layout for the warehouse floor.
