Conferences are an intense rush of meetings, walking the expo floor, and randomly running into old friends and new acquaintances. It starts early in the morning and goes late into the night. Starting your day in a quiet, sunny spot with sound of falling water, a delicious cup of tea (or coffee) and a beautiful view of the city prepares you for the rush of the day ahead.

If you are ever at a conference at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, hanging out by the water feature by the Samovar Tea Lounge is a calm way to start the day.
