Event Recap of SAMCEDA’s 2024 ‘THRED Talks’

The San Mateo County Economic Development Association (SAMCEDA) held its 71st Annual Meeting featuring "THRED Talks" - Weaving Our Region Together event at The Farallon Room at Skyline College in San Bruno in June 2024.

“THRED Talks," launched in 2016, is a showcase highlighting San Mateo County and its contributions to this dynamic Bay Area - Silicon Valley region. Through "THRED Talks," we weave stories, focusing on the County, its businesses, its innovators, entrepreneurs, and community leaders.

This year’s “THRED Talks” highlighted the importance of: commercial development, the airport industry, education, small business/artificial intelligence, and the Port of Redwood City.

SAMCEDA was fortunate to hear from five powerful “THRED Talks” speakers featuring:

Through their dynamic and informative “THRED Talks” presentations, attendees gained new knowledge and appreciation for what makes San Mateo County a unique place to live and work.

After the “THRED Talks” program, attendees (business leaders, elected officials, non-profit, and education professionals from all over San Mateo County and the Bay Area region) engaged in a networking reception where they could form new connections and celebrate established partnerships and friendships.

SAMCEDA appreciates all the sponsors (shown below) who generously supported our event.
