Resilient East Bay 2023

The East Bay Economic Development Agency's Annual Membership Meeting, held in the hospitable city of Pleasanton, California, was an event to remember. The morning was packed with insightful information, shared through lively speeches and a panel discussion that dived deep into the current economic and business development climate in the East Bay counties of the SF Bay Area.

Attendees ranged from business and economic leaders shaping the market trends to politicians formulating the policies to county and city agency representatives ensuring smooth administration to small business owners at the forefront of local commerce. The meeting was a confluence of minds from a variety of backgrounds and cities.

A beautiful breakfast buffet began the event, providing the perfect opportunity to network. Conversations buzzed around the room, as attendees made new connections and strengthened existing ones. The networking continued after the event too, with people exchanging ideas, thoughts and contact information.

Among the various organizations present, the 'Be A Mentor' nonprofit organization was a notable presence. They hosted a table, inviting attendees to learn more about their efforts and potentially find avenues for collaboration.

The meeting was not just an opportunity to gain knowledge but also to contribute. It was a platform for you to share your experiences, your insights and your ideas. The Q&A session was the perfect time to voice your thoughts, ask your questions and be a part of the dialogue that shapes the East Bay's economic future.

This was not an event filled with frills and unnecessary pomp. It was a down-to-earth gathering of individuals and organizations who are truly invested in the economic development of the East Bay.
