Back by popular demand, Dan Walters will be a featured speaker at the California Chamber of Commerce 2017 Capitol Summit on May 31 in Sacramento.
The half-day summit will feature political insiders and CalChamber policy advocates who will address national campaigns and state policy issues.
Host Reception/Breakfast
Following the Capitol Summit, attendees are invited to the Sacramento Host Reception, an event co-sponsored by the CalChamber and the Sacramento Host Committee to provide networking opportunities for business leaders from all industries in California to discuss key issues facing the state.
The reception is a prelude to the Sacramento Host Breakfast the following morning, June 1. The Host Breakfast provides a venue at which California’s top industry and government leaders can meet, socialize and discuss the contemporary issues facing businesses, the economy and government.
Traditionally, the Governor of California and the chair of the CalChamber Board of Directors speak on issues facing employers in California at the Host Breakfast. Leaders from business, agriculture, the administration, education, the military and legislators from throughout the state are invited to join the discussion.
