Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti will speak at next month's State of the Valley conference to highlight the greater LA region's transportation breakthroughs under his watch, including massive infrastructure funding from a tax that never sunsets.
The 2019 State of the Valley conference is set for Friday, February 15 with keynote remarks by presidential historian Jon Meacham. This year’s symposium, which annually draws more than 1200 people, also features meaningful dialogue on the future of our region and the rise of the fourth industrial revolution, a deep dive into the 2019 Silicon Valley Index, exhibits and entertainment.
Jon Meacham, presidential biographer, Pulitzer Prize-winning author, and political commentator, will be the keynote speaker at the State of the Valley conference February 15. His remarks will examine Silicon Valley’s place in the broader national context and offer a historical perspective on the issues and events that are dividing us as a nation.
The Index has been telling the Silicon Valley story since 1995. The indicators measure the strength of our economy and the health of our community, highlighting challenges and providing a foundation for decision making.
Two of the world’s leading experts on the fourth industrial revolution, Murat Sönmez of the World Economic Forum and Fei Fei Li of Stanford’s Artificial Intelligence Lab, will chart the future as they see it, a future driven largely by artificial intelligence.
