Vas Kiniris shared this✨ Some places don’t just tell San Francisco’s story—you can actually feel it when you walk in. 🌉❤️ I’ve visited the legendary The Clift Royal Sonesta Hotel, Redwood Room many times, but learning its history gave me a whole new appreciation for this iconic space. 🍸✨ Since 1933, its redwood walls and Art Deco details have set the scene for unforgettable evenings. 🥂 Come for the history, stay for the cocktails and delicious bites! 🍸🍽️✨ Union Square, San Francisco https://lnkd.in/g9RWhfRg https://lnkd.in/gBcHhBwU

Vas Kiniris shared thisA perfect San Francisco day starts at The Clift Royal Sonesta Hotel , our iconic home base just steps from Union Square, San Francisco. Welcoming guests since 1915, The Clift blends a century of history with timeless design and modern comfort. The historic Redwood Room keeps that spirit alive with its weekly “Redwood Room After Dark Jazz Series,” bringing jazz to the heart of the city. We kicked off the evening with pre-theater drinks and nibbles at the Redwood Room before heading to American Conservatory Theater neighboring Toni Rembe Theater for the dress rehearsal of Hitchcock’s iconic North by Northwest, creatively reimagined for the stage. Clever, imaginative, and an absolute must-see! Stay for the weekend, experience San Francisco’s vibrant Theater District, catch North by Northwest, and make The Clift your home base. https://lnkd.in/gUGQ-PgT https://www.act-sf.org

Together, they’ll share the realities of working on creator campaigns from both perspectives. We’ll talk about: - What brands actually look for when working with creators. - The challenges that come up on both sides. - What makes a campaign work, and the lessons you only learn by running one. No polished case studies or sugarcoating. Just an honest conversation about what happens behind the campaign. Register for The Honest Hour: https://lnkd.in/egJKCXty

As Chair of the San Francisco–Thessaloniki Sister City Committee, it was an honor to be introduced to Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis to San Francisco, connecting with Greek and Greek-American leaders in technology and AI. Wonderful to see Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis and Markos Kounalakis Page, and a special thank you to Greek Consulate, San Francisco Greek Consul Grigoris Tassiopoulos for bringing our community together. And what a wonderful surprise to see Thomas Douzis, founder of ERGON—spreading Greek gastronomy around the world and demonstrating the power of true gastro-diplomacy! 🇬🇷🍽️🌎 A meaningful evening celebrating our shared heritage while building stronger bridges between Greece, San Francisco, and Silicon Valley. 🇬🇷🇺🇸

Vas Kiniris liked thisVas Kiniris liked thisThis Tuesday’s opening of Italian Sport Shoes Design - #WeMakeSportHappen at the Istituto Italiano di Cultura San Francisco offered a vivid example of the many forms Italian excellence can take: design, craftsmanship, scientific research, technology, and entrepreneurship. I was pleased to represent Consul General Massimo Carnelos at this event, held on the occasion of the third Italian Sports Day in the World. Curated by Fondazione Sportsystem, the exhibition traces the evolution of Italian sports footwear through iconic products, stories, and innovations that have helped shape the sector internationally. It shows how technical performance and style can develop together, supported by a tradition of manufacturing quality and continuous experimentation. It is also a timely reminder that Made in Italy is more than a label, it is a method that reflects a way of working that connects tradition with innovation, technical knowledge with creativity, and a commitment to quality with an international outlook. The discussion, Sport, Health & Performance: Italy Meets the U.S., brought together perspectives from medicine, research, professional sport, advanced technology, and business. It highlighted the growing connection between sport, health, wellbeing, and innovation. Hosting the exhibition at at INNOVIT - Italian Innovation and Culture Hub, alongside the Innovation Center's SportTech acceleration program, created a meaningful link between Italy’s industrial and design heritage and a new generation of startups developing solutions for the future of sport and performance. Our thanks to Fondazione SportSystem; the Italian Institute of Culture for overseeing the installation of the exhibition; Romeo Beccherelli, Scientific Attaché at the Consulate General of Italy in San Francisco, for coordinating the event; the INNOVIT Innovation Center team; and our distinguished speakers, Dr. antonio pelliccia, Professor Elena Cavarretta, Cristiana Girelli, Alessandro Urlando, and Andrea Vitali, for their valuable contributions. Sport is a common language, capable of creating connections across borders and generations. Italy is proud to contribute to this dialogue through its culture, expertise, research, and capacity for innovation.
