If you work in hospitality in the Bay Area then you most likely know (or should know) who Chip Conley is.  I won’t go into his back story but he’s the founder of Joie De Vivre Hotels, one of the top boutique hotel chains around(and  based here in San Francisco).

Sarah Silverman backstage and on City Arts & Lectures

2017-07-25T15:34:50-07:00By |Categories: Event, Point of View|Tags: , , |
