Long Beach Rising: Building Partnerships For Economic Growth and Legacy
LONG BEACH RISING
Building Partnerships for Economic Growth and Legacy
The 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games will bring the world to Southern California. What we build around that moment could shape our region for decades.
On Tuesday, October 21, Community Collective and the California State Treasurer’s Office invite you to Long Beach Rising, an evening focused on transforming the opportunities surrounding LA28 into lasting economic growth, investment, partnerships, and community benefit.
Long Beach will play an important role in the Games — but this conversation is about much more than sports.
We’ll bring together leaders across the public and private sectors to explore how businesses, investors, institutions, entrepreneurs, and community stakeholders can participate in the opportunities surrounding infrastructure, tourism, workforce development, economic development, and major global events.
Featuring:
Fiona Ma, CPA
California State Treasurer
Paul Simonds
SVP, Orange County Business Council
Anthony Brenneman
Orange County Sports Commission
Beril Unver
City of Long Beach
Courtney Russell
