Exploring the City By the Bay, after a day of sessions at @pcmahq #pcmacl... En route to #biking across #SanFrancisco's #GoldenGateBridge, we stopped to view the structures surrounding the @palaceoffineartstheatre. The #historic #Greek-themed site is a popular attraction that has hosted art exhibitions since its construction over a century ago for the Panama-Pacific Exhibition.
. .
The intricate #design of the craftsmen of the era is awe-inspiring. Understandably, the area is sought out location for #events, #weddings and #wedding group/family #photography. @sfmeetings website notes that @starwars films' creator @lucasfilm used the site as inspiration for the #architecture on the world of Naboo from whence @natalieportman's character, Queen/Senator Amidala hailed. .

Following a #cablecar ride (image 3) down to (a #kosher dining establishment on) Fisherman's Wharf and a look around @ghirardellisquare (image 4)our team headed out to cross the #GoldenGateBridge using #SanFrancisco's popular #bike sharing services. Even though @uber's @jumpbyuber #bicycle (image 1) petered out on Ben after arriving at Marin County's Vista Point, and David took a call along the way on his @lyft #baywheels (image 2), Ben was a sport using the time parked to enjoy the views.

Following @pcmahq's #pcmacl at #sanfrancisco's @mosconecenter, many #eventprofs & #meetingprofs extended their stays to @visitnapavalley and @sonomacounty venues that create the perfect pairing of the #BayArea and #WineCountry. .
The @meritagecollection's properties include two unique resort hotels set amidst acres of #vineyards in #California's #Napa Valley. Its Meritage branded property is home to @trinitascellars, whose #grapes are grown on the rolling hills beyond the resort. The #Vineyard Deck (photographed after a rainy morning image 4) is a favorite spot for outdoor #events and #weddings while multiple ballrooms' flexible spaces can be used to host an #event, exhibition or reception. To close out the day's #meetings or conferences, it's sports bar is also home to a #bowling alley. .
The @vistacollina Resort located across the road houses #winetasting rooms for a number of local #wineries and breweries around its village green, as well as a market and kitchen that can host #cooking & #baking exhibitions and #teambuilding activities. The lawn area shown here (image 5) can be utilized both for leisure and networking activities or cleared for an outdoor #event. .

Many #eventprofs & #meetingprofs chose to spend time getting acquainted with the #Napa and #Sonoma Valley regions north of #SanFrancisco following @pcmahq's Convening Leaders conference held at the city's (still) newly expanded @mosconecenter.
In addition to visiting #vineyards and #winetasting, our team had a close encounter with #DarthVader - one of the featured works of #jellybean #mosaic #art - at the @jellybellycandyco factory located about 15 minutes outside of Napa. Ronald Reagan, perhaps the nation's most outspoken advocate for jelly beans during his presidency, was a favorite subject of the #artworks. .
While the factory tour site is very #child-friendly, #meeting and #conference space is also available, making the attraction ideal for the #children (and #sweettooth) in all of us.

#eventprofs and #meetingprofs will leave their hearts in #SanFrancisco following the closing night's networking #event and #concert at the newly christened @chase_center, an #entertainment venue, home to the region's @warriors @nba #basketball team (image 2).
.
@sfmeetings Joe D'Alessandro's team got evening rolling, showcasing how the arena could be utilized for visiting conferences. After the venue's spacious passageways (image 3) and food vendor stations (image 4) provided ample room and selections for attendees to dine and mingle, D'Alessandro introduced the city's mayor (image 5) who welcomed those gathered for a @maroon5 #concert (images 1 & 6).
.
@adamlevine wowed the capacity crowd who sang along with him throughout the night. The new facility and open bar on the arena floor - that was utilized to host @pcmahq's VIP groups - in turn wowed #AdamLevine. In addition to complimenting the #eventplanner design of the arena floor to include a bar, it seemed that perhaps his multiple mentions of the bar might have been implying he wanted a drink!

On Sunday afternoon prior to @pcmahq's #pcmaCL opening ceremonies, visiting #eventprofs/#meetingprofs were given an opportunity to loop around #SanFrancisco and across the iconic #GoldenGateBridge as the sun was headed down in the sky. @bigbustours took attendees aboard an open double-decker bus through the city's neighborhoods, passing by historic buildings and popular attractions.

As #pcmaCL heads to #SanFrancisco next week, there will be many photos of vintage cable cars as #eventprofs and #meetingprofs explore the "City by the Bay" beyond the walls of the newly expanded @mosconecenter.
The "Big Easy" may be known for #MardiGras, #jazz and its #FrenchQuarter, but did you know that #NewOrleans' green and crimson "Perley Thomas" #streetcar trolleys are also a National Historic Landmark? In case you were wondering why this #art piece sits in the lobby if the @mccno Convention Center in #NewOrleans, now you know!
@bylandersea's feature on the @nopsihotel and @visitneworleans were featured in the Winter 2019/2020 issue of #FandDmag. This #fbf photo was taken during @iaee_hq's #ExpoExpo in 2018.

It's very much looking a lot like #Christmas at @waltdisneyworld's #EpcotCenter.

Themed #topiary #art of @mickeymouse & @minniemouse (image 1), a grand #ChristmasTree (image 2), exhibitions from various countries - such as #France's, shown in images 3 & 4 - create plenty of holiday spirit at the #Orlando #themepark. The Epcot International "#FestivalOfTheHolidays" also includes a delightful #Chanukah storyteller (image 5), who with some musical accompaniment recounts his experiences of the #Jewish festival of lights that commences Sunday evening. Adding some flavor, #holiday #foods from around the globe were available to guests throughout the park's exhibitions. .

That's #amore!
.
#Disney's #imagineering team went all out in giving their new #DisneyRivieraResort (opened Monday, December 16) a touch of the #French & #Italian Riviera, ensuring guests will fall in #love with the resort.The Riviera is the first Disney Vacation Club property to launch since 2004. Original @disney character themed #artwork (images 1-3) throughout the property contain elements inspired by #artists from the region - as does its architecture and #design. To top it off, @mickeymouse and friends were outfitted in #artist inspired clothing (image 4).
.
While not designed as a hotel for large #meetings & #events, its signature rooftop #Topolino's (#MickeyMouse in Italian) restaurant can be reserved for groups and provides an upscale gourmet Italian dining experience with great views of the nearby parks - allowing an evening #event to break and watch fireworks shows. The hotel suites are meant for extended stays and have full kitchens, dining areas and multiple beds, including some cleverly hidden Murphy beds. #eventprofs and #meetingprofs looking for a property with perks - including quick, direct (and early) access to the #HollywoodStudios and #Epcot #themeparks via the recently opened Skyliner gondola cable cars - when planning a stay with their family during the time frame of an #Orlando conference should consider checking on availability at this resort. (And while there, also check out the French pastries at Bar Riva!) More to follow in #FandDmag's Spring 2020 issue and future posts.

#CandyCanes line the Solow Building at 9 West 57th Street in #Manhattan to welcome the #Christmas season.
.
#eventprofs/#meetingprofs will find a number of #luxury hotel properties along 57th Street, including the @fsnewyork and @parkhyattny, with unique spaces for #meetings & #events. The illumination of the translucent onyx panels in the Onyx Room at the @parkhyatt will leave an impression with attendees that will last long after the function ends. @aman is converting the Crown Building on the southwest corner of 57th & #FifthAvenue to its first address in #NYC. (Scaffolding on the right of the photo belongs to the Aman New York, undergoing upgrades before opening.)

Who's News: #Cover #model & @cleconventions Direct

Who's News: #Cover #model & @cleconventions Director of Sales Travis Poppell, that's who! Poppell paused to meet with @facilitiesmedia's Michael Caffin, displaying a freshly minted copy of the #FandDmag Winter 2019-2020 issue that debuted this afternoon and is available exclusively at @iaee_hq's #ExpoExpo at the @mandalaybay in #LasVegas. The issue sports Travis's image on the cover (far right) taking John Lennon's position in this @thebeatles Abbey Road mock up cover celebrating the city's #RockAndRoll heritage.
.
Poppell arrived in #Cleveland in 2013 and served as the Director of Sales at the @ixcentercle before moving to the Prime Site Award-winning Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland and Global Center for Health Innovation in 2018. The convention center's 225,000 square feet of exhibition space has the 32-story, 600-room headquarter hotel @hiltoncleveland adjacent to the facility. But we'll let Travis tell you more...

Ice #skating in #Vail Square is one of a plethora of #winter activities to partake in when not on the slopes (or in a #meeting or conference). #meetingprofs /#eventprofs are increasingly finding reasons to stage their functions in the #Colorado town. Within Lionshead Village at the base of @vailmtn, the @vailmarriott is walking distance to the Eagle Bahn Gondola. A free shuttle between to the nearby town avails visitors to local #shopping, #dining and #entertainment.
#FandDmag will feature Vail in the upcoming issue that debuts next week at @iaee_hq's #ExpoExpo in #LasVegas' @mandalaybay Convention Center.
