A presentation + panel to get our city's economic engine back on track.

We're doing a deep dive into how to get San Francisco's downtown — the economic engine of our city — back on track.  This will include a review of the latest city data, insights from other cities who have made progress on downtown revitalization, and fresh solutions for a new downtown outlook.

Featured panelists include:

  • David Chiu, City Attorney of San Francisco and former President of the Board of Supervisors
  • Rodney Fong, President and CEO of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce

The event schedule is as follows:

  • 7:30 to 8:30pm:  Pre-event reception
  • 8:30 to 9:30pm: Presentation + panel discussion
  • 9:30 to 10:00pm:  After-event cocktails

Presented by WE founder Ben Kaplan, a Harvard-trained economist and former case writer at the National Bureau of Economic Research, the discussion will also place a special emphasis on how to achieve do what is needed without huge budgetary outlays.

If there's one presentation that might change how you look at the future of San Francisco's downtown, this just might be it.
