Getting around during San Antonio Startup Week is simple. Nearly all venues are located in the heart of downtown, with plenty of options.

Focus on the experience, not the commute.

Most events take place in the heart of downtown San Antonio, centered around the intersection of Soledad Street and Houston Street.

Primary SASW 2025 venues include:

• Geekdom (Floors 3, 5, 7 + Event Center)
• Home2 Suites – Junction North, Junction South, and River Walk Ballroom
• Embassy Suites River Walk – Majestic Ballroom, Texas Room, Aztec Room, and Promenade
• Legacy Park
• Launch SA at the Central Public Library
• Weston Commons at Weston Center

Walkability

Most venues are easily accessible on foot. Key walking times:

• Geekdom to Launch SA – ~11 minutes (casual pace)

SASW Circulator Shuttle

A free circulator shuttle will run between Launch SA and Home2 Suites.

• Hop on, hop off style service
• Check signage or your badge map for stop locations and hours

• Unlimited rides within downtown zone – $2.75/day or $12 for the week (7 AM to 11 PM)
• Must book rides through the VIA Link app

Scooters & Bikes
