The Downtown Bakersfield Symposium

Join us in the heart of downtown Bakersfield, a vibrant hub of creativity, commerce, and community, for a day that could shape the future of our city’s core. Whether you’re a business owner, developer, artist, community leader, or simply someone who cares about where Bakersfield is headed, this symposium is your opportunity to connect, share ideas, and be part of the movement. It’s more than just a gathering, it’s a launch point for revitalizing our shared spaces, boosting investment, and igniting real momentum in the downtown district.

What you’ll get: inspiring keynotes, interactive breakout sessions, and deliberate conversations designed to spark collaboration and tangible action. You’ll meet local decision-makers and change-makers, discover innovative ideas for property and business, and leave with a clear sense of what’s possible and how you can be a part of it. We’ll explore new models of economic growth, creative place-making, and how to harness Downtown Bakersfield’s unique character for positive transformation.

In the afternoon, join us at The Ovation Theatre to continue the conversation on revitalization and community growth, featuring engaging discussions and real-world examples of how collaboration can shape the future of our downtown.

Don’t miss your chance to be in the room when ideas turn into action. Come ready to listen, contribute, and engage with colleagues, neighbors, and future partners. Together, we’ll invest in the downtown we believe in and build a stronger, more vibrant Bakersfield for everyone. Secure your spot now and join the movement.
