Community Collective: Builders Breakfast September
It's more than new buildings or infrastructure.
It's the experiences that bring people together, attract visitors, support local businesses, inspire investment, and create a sense of place.
As Santa Monica enters a season of major cultural programming and prepares for a decade of global events, it's the perfect time to ask an important question:
How do we turn culture into lasting economic opportunity?
Join Community Collective for our next Builders Breakfast:
Culture Creates Commerce
How Experiences Build Great Cities
We'll bring together leaders from business, government, tourism, hospitality, entertainment, and community organizations for a conversation about how experiences can strengthen our economy, build vibrant communities, and shape the future of our cities.
Guest speakers include Nic Adler of Goldenvoice, and producer of the upcoming Ocean Way Festival, which will be the largest music festival ever hosted in Santa Monica, Debbie Lee, CEO of Downtown Santa Monica, and Misti Kerns, CEO of Santa Monica Travel and Tourism Board.
