Convention attendees are invited to post a photo of the heart at Moscone Center along with why they love San Francisco and the hashtag #heartofmoscone to be entered to win a trip for two back to San Francisco.

Feb. 14, 2018 - Millions of convention attendees have been known to leave their hearts in San Francisco.  So well-loved is the destination that a $550 million expansion of the Moscone Center is nearing completion and the new space is already being rapidly booked for future events.

The latest milestone of the project is the February 14 relocation of the heart-shaped “San Francisco Housescape” (Eileen David, 2012) from Moscone West to a showcase spot in the lobby of the newly reimagined Moscone South. The heart is one of hundreds of sculptures in the “Hearts in San Francisco” program benefiting the San Francisco General Hospital Foundation, https://sfghf.org/events/hearts-in-sf/.

To celebrate the heart’s new home – as well as the special place the city holds in so many hearts – San Francisco Travel is launching a social media contest for the chance to win a trip to San Francisco for two including round trip airfare, a weekend stay at the St. Regis San Francisco, two San Francisco CityPASS booklets, Pier 39 VIP Passes and Big Bus Tour tickets.

To enter, snap a photo of the heart at Moscone Center and post it – along with what you love about San Francisco – and include the hashtag #heartofmoscone on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.  The contest is open Feb. 14-Dec. 1, 2018.  A winner will be selected by December 8, 2018.
