Hoping for a better day today at the 2025 SFWC...with power! Currently, only around 50% of the Hyatt has power thanks to a generator truck. We apologize to all those attendees whose rooms do not and encourage you to contact the front desk if you would like to be moved.

Kicking off on time even though the hotel flooded earlier in the day. #Resilience is an important strength lol #SFWC @sfwc.bsky.social
