Lake Tahoe may be made up of many communities, but we are one lake and one regional economy, so what affects some of us, affects all of us. The annual Tahoe Economic Summit is an opportunity to catalyze change and take action for the benefit of our regional economy, while supporting our community, quality of life and environment.
The theme for 2021 is “Envision Tahoe.” Due to the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is more critical than ever to look at economic diversification and recovery. Government leaders, local residents, business owners, young professionals, start-up companies, developers, investors, and entrepreneurs are all encouraged to attend to help us build a recovery and resiliency strategy that will benefit Lake Tahoe and it’s communities.
Thank you for considering a sponsorship of the Annual Tahoe Economic Summit. The theme is “Envision Tahoe” and keynotes, panels and the program will focus on this theme. Topics include Economic Resiliency, Housing, Workforce Development and Innovative Economies. Expected attendance is 150-200 (in-person and virtual) including regional and statewide government officials, business owners, entrepreneurs, community leaders, students and business professionals. Last year’s Virtual event information can be found here: http://tahoeeconomicsummit.org And this webpage will be updated soon with details for the 2021 Event.
