Research Summit

Across San Diego County, organizations are using data and research to tackle our region’s biggest challenges—from housing affordability to economic mobility. Much of this incredible work happens behind the scenes.

The 2026 Research Summit brings these efforts together under one roof.

Join us for a morning of 12-minute lightning talks highlighting how local leaders are using research to strengthen communities, shape policy, and build a more equitable future.

This is a unique opportunity to:

• Learn how research is driving real change across our region
• Discover initiatives happening in your own community
• Make connections with cross-sector leaders

You’ll hear from teams working on:

• Housing and homeownership
• Workforce and economic development
• Community and neighborhood well-being
