“THRED Talks" is a showcase to weave our communities together. This year’s “THRED Talks” program highlighted the importance of: commercial development, the airport industry, education, small business/artificial intelligence, and the Port of Redwood City in the community.

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 to form new connections while fostering established partnerships and friendships.
