The host of this year's Input conference
plans to go ahead with the international pubTV producers' screening conference in San Francisco, May 1-6, despite a union boycott of the SF Hilton and 13 other large hotels, the
Chronicle reported yesterday. ITVS, host of the event, said it favors good treatment for hotel workers but
could not afford to lose $663,000 tied up in reserving the conference space. Groups of lawyers and historians have relocated events from the boycotted hotels.
