For the first time in its over 30-year history, Microsoft is bringing the massive Ignite conference to San Francisco. This is a huge win for San Francisco as it continues trying to bolster business travel and tourism post-pandemic. 14,000 people attended Microsoft's Ignite conference in Chicago last year, so it's definitely a big event. So big that the San Francisco Travel Association is estimating that over 60,000 hotel room nights will be booked in association with this event, and it'll bring over $41 million to the city in revenue. This is one of 30 confirmed events for Moscone Center in 2025. 5, and it'll take place this coming November. Glad to see these major businesses recommitting to the city. Let me know what you think in the comments.
