As part of a series of regional events hosted by New Leaders Council, the inaugural West Coast Conversation is taking place this June at Stanford University.
Three expert panels will highlight the increasingly important roles of technology and millennials in the political powerplay, dynamic keynote speakers will dissect leadership and political action and friends will gather to share ideas and innovations from the current political and economic climate.
Following the event, NLC Chapters from Silicon Valley, San Francisco, and Sacramento will co-host a reception, open to all Conversation attendees.
