SVLG is proud to return to Levi’s Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers, for our 2025 Annual Forum on Tuesday, December 16. 

This year’s event will deliver high-impact dialogue, timely insights, and dynamic networking – all aligned with our Future Forward agenda to advance innovation, strengthen business competitiveness, and shape California’s future as the Bay Area prepares to host two world-class sporting events in 2026: Super Bowl and World Cup.

Our program will spotlight the policy priorities that defined 2025 and explore the trends driving innovation, competitiveness, and growth as we head into 2026.

The evening concludes with a networking reception alongside the 50-yard line at Levi’s Stadium.

Attendance is free for employees of current SVLG member companies.
