As Convening Leaders 2020 was about to kick into gear, Convene’s editors spread out to see how attendees were settling in at Moscone Center and experiencing Sunday’s activities, including PCMA U, the program for student members at the Hilton Union Square, the Hackathon workshop at Moscone South, the Leadership Summit at the Marriott Marquis, and Hospitality Helping Hands at the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank. Here’s what they heard:
