California Business Outlook, Dinner to Feature Top Government, Industry Leaders

Registration is now open for the first CalChamber California Business Outlook and Dinner, a new event that merges the former Capitol Summit and Sacramento Host Breakfast.

The California Business Outlook and Dinner reimagines the Sacramento Host Breakfast of years past, taking the breakfast tradition into a new format.

“After 99 years of the Host Breakfast, we are turning the page and are proud to host the first-ever California Business Outlook and Dinner, a new tradition designed to foster meaningful dialogue and collaboration among California’s top leaders and decision-makers. Together, with our partners, we will confront the challenges facing our state and chart a course for its future,” said CalChamber President and CEO Jennifer Barrera.

Statewide industry partners are joining the CalChamber in presenting the business outlook and dinner.

“The issues that affect how we live and work are all connected and the policy makers and experts invited to the business outlook and dinner will offer insights that will help us to sort things out,” said James Beckwith, president and CEO of Five Star Bank, Silver sponsor of the event. In the invitation to business leaders, Beckwith said, “Your attendance and your voice are needed now more than ever.”
