Requesting/Inquiring: Congratulations on hosting this successful event. I've seen reports documenting some of the positive impact this event will have on our City. I am interested in receiving some further information about the role this event and others like it play in the City's economy.
About Oracle in particular:
How many attendees did it bring in?
How much did those attendees spend – specifically, how much did they spend in restaurants, retail, hotels, transportation, and other industries?
How many came from outside the Bay Area or stayed in San Francisco hotels?
Have the event organizers provided you with constructive feedback – specifically, what will entice them to continue holding this event in San Francisco?
What concerns do they have?
About convention business in general:
Has convention business recovered since 9/11 and the dot-com crash?
What big events (similar to Oracle) has the City hosted over the past year, or does it expect to host in the coming years?
How much money are major events like these bringing into the City?
How is that money spread out across different businesses (restaurants, retail, hotels, transportation, etc.)? How many jobs does it generate?
What distinguishes San Francisco as a desirable location for such events?
What cities are our principal competitors?
What role has Moscone West played in bringing big convention business to SF?
