ABOUT THE SUMMIT
The California Economic Summit, produced by CA FWD in collaboration with the California Stewardship Network, is our flagship annual event convening regional leaders from business, community, government, philanthropy, labor, and more to catalyze action toward building a New California Economy.
The Summit connects people and communities to elevate shared learning and engagement, celebrates successes across regions, catalyzes action at the state and federal level, and ultimately creates the space to work together to promote system change toward an economic model that is truly resilient, sustainable, and inclusive.
The annual event is held in a different region of the state each year, providing the host region an opportunity to showcase the unique regional challenges and innovations across our vibrant and diverse state. Past Summits have been held in:
