San Francisco Travel ends each fiscal year with an event that unites our members, partners, and stakeholders to celebrate our wins, set the game plan for the future, and rally around what’s next. This November, we’ll continue that legacy by hosting our 116th Annual Luncheon at The Fairmont San Francisco in the Grand Ballroom.
This year marks the kickoff of the 60th anniversary of the Summer of Love, and we're celebrating with a program full of connection, community, and San Francisco pride. Join us as we bring together community leaders, industry professionals, and advocates to show why San Francisco is a top destination in the world.
This is your chance to hear the latest updates, meet new people, and help us share San Francisco's story with the world. This year's program is full of great speakers and fun surprises. President and CEO Anna Marie Presutti will share our plans, our progress, and what's ahead for San Francisco.
We'll start with our reception, then move into lunch and the main program with our partners and friends. It's a time to look back at the wins from this year, talk about what's coming next, and celebrate the spirit that makes San Francisco special. Expect live entertainment and performances that bring the Summer of Love spirit to life.
This is San Francisco at its most vibrant: our people, our stories, and our spirit, all in one unforgettable day.
