Lt. Governor Eleni Kounalakis will be joining us for a keynote conversation to deep dive into California’s increasing competitiveness through investment, infrastructure, and innovation. SVLG CEO, Ahmad Thomas, will moderate this conversation with her.

We’ll have executives from ChargePoint, View, and United Airlines on a panel to talk about “The Sustainability Moment” and how the forces of this year will shape the next 10-20 years. What will this look like for our companies?
