East Bay Now

The East Bay Now event, organized by the East Bay Economic Development Agency (EDA), took place in the heart of downtown Oakland, CA. Taking place in a spacious event space within the Square Building, attendees were treated to the building's crowning glory - a rooftop garden that provided panoramic views of the city skyline.

A diverse group from all walks of life attended this event. It was a sampling of a who's who of the East Bay area, and included business leaders, economic influences, local media powerhouses, politicians, and representatives from city and county agencies.

The main event of the evening was a series of speeches that underscored the need for accelerated economic development in the East Bay area, with a specific emphasis on Oakland. This wasn't just talk - this was a call to action, an immediate need for support and investment in the local economy.

And it wasn't all business. Attendees were treated to a variety of amenities to help them relax and enjoy the evening. There were oxygen stations, massage therapists on standby to help uncoil those tight shoulders, and a selection of drinks and hors d'oeuvres.

As the sun set over the city, a different kind of star took center stage. Kev Choice, Oakland's own, filled the evening air with music that was as diverse and vibrant as the crowd itself.

Remember, this isn't just about an event. This is about you being part of a broader community, an active participant in the ongoing narrative of the East Bay area. Because, at the end of the day, this isn't just about economic development - it's about developing a community that supports, uplifts, and champions each other.
