The California Economic Summit is a dynamic, solutions-driven gathering where leaders from across the state come together to support economic advancement strategies that are regions-up and focused on the growth and stewardship of California’s valuable communities, land, and resources. In 2025, we are thrilled to connect with leaders in Stockton and showcase all that the Northern San Joaquin Valley has to offer, including manufacturing, clean energy, transportation and logistics, agriculture, and more! This is the place to connect, collaborate, and drive change.
