Centering Small Business amid Regional Change - Lessons from Los Angeles
About this Event

About the event

Next Street's Industrial Supply Chain Forum is coming to Los Angeles on November 6. This special event will focus on the role of small businesses, along with the challenges and opportunities they face amid the region's significant transformation.

Context

Los Angeles is undergoing profound change. From the devastating wildfires to the promise of global mega events, the region is navigating a period defined by resilience, innovation, and growth. Small businesses—vital to the local economy—are central to this journey, supporting wildfire recovery efforts while seizing new opportunities in infrastructure and housing development, climate resilience, and international events.

Forging Ahead: Centering Small Business amid Regional Change — Lessons from Los Angeles will bring together leaders from government, industry, and finance to explore strategies for strengthening the small businesses that provide the essential goods and services powering regional economic development.

We'll focus on the unique dynamics of L.A., from wildfire recovery to the opportunities created by upcoming mega-events and examine strategies to support and strengthen small businesses.
