The Communications Network Conference
by Michael HoffmanThursday, November 2nd, 2006
I am at the Communications Network annual meeting in San Francisco. They are “the premiere national nonprofit association for promoting the practice of strategic communications in philanthropy.” Basically, communication professionals that work in philanthropy and who believe that communications are important to the mission. Wow. There are some serious people here. I am here to listen and learn, mostly.
And now I can talk about food. I have been on the road a fair amount recently and it’s mostly a drag to travel, but when I tell people I am going to San Francisco the reaction is always a smile, for me too. Can you say Sushi? This is the second trip recently I have been in the Hotel Monaco, and right up the street is Ryoko’s. You gotta love this – they are open 6pm to 2am, seven days a week. So on a Tuesday night at midnight, after I got in, I could eat! Yeah. In Chicago if I go into a place at 9:00 they are telling me the kitchen is closing.
