Marconi Center - Setting for the "Future of Talent" Think Tank
Published on July 18 2005
When we meet in the Fall, it will be at the gorgeous Marconi Center on the edge of Tomales Bay. This is an inlet from the sea which is protected from the full force of the Pacific Ocean by Point Reyes.
The Marconi Center is located in the town of Marshall which is about an hour's drive from San Francsico along the scenic highways of Marin county. This map shows it in relation to the Pacific Ocean at the top.
The Marconi Center is, itself, an unusal place. While it is now owned by the State of California, from about 1912 until 1939 it served as a radio station for ships at sea. Using Marconi's radios, this station allowed ships to send and recive news and information and provided the military with communciations during World War I.
This is a view from the Marconi Center toward Tomales Bay. The vista are lovely and the center is made up of condominium-like townhouses, several free-standing conference buildings and a separate dining area.
Guests sleep in the condos and can share rooms, if desired. There are miles of trails and paths that hug the coast and wind through the trees and gentle hills that surround the center.
A ship idles through the bay. Below, the condos where gusts sleep and beautful lupin flowers which greet visitors to the Pine Lodge meeting rooms where we will be holding our sessions.
