SFO is great, been there a few times to work there a few weeks and for 
one wedding of a colleague/friend. Unfortunately, in true American style 
all my friends there moved to very different places.

Conferences are great if you use them to meet people and make friends. 
The talks are sometimes interesting, but when too many of them are given 
in something that the presenter thinks is English you get tired soon. 
Use the talks to find out who you'd like to talk to. i.e. look around 
and note which faces turn up every time.
