Renovation - Media Center

Media Center

This page is the main Press and Media Center for Renovation. Our objective is to make it easy for press and media contacts to find us, to get in touch with us, and to get and download information that they can use. This includes copies of all our official Press Releases and other useful material. We have also provided downloadable web site banners for more general use on web sites, social networks and other online locations.

Our main press contact is Kimm Antell, head of Hospitality and Promotions, who can be reached at press@renovationsf.org for all queries.

Our policy on Press Passes and Press Credentials can be found here.
