Our business environment is constantly shifting.
Be part of change: join an invite-only salon of thought leaders, doers, and business owners driving action and impact to support free markets and democracy.
Our keynote will be given by Larry Diamond (senior fellow at the Hoover Institution; Mosbacher Senior Fellow in Global Democracy at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies [FSI], both Stanford University) and Ben Raderstorf of Protect Democracy, in conversation with Marisa Lagos of KQED.
Breakout discussions led by industry experts will explore US Competitiveness and The Rule of Law, Clean Energy Responds, and Tech Ecosystem and the Business of Democracy (more details below).
Beyond elections, now is the time to engage with the groups and leaders who are generating ideas and driving action to support a thriving business environment and free and fair markets.
Silicon Valley and the Bay Area know how to innovate. Space is limited—RSVP now to request your invitation to attend.
