Bay Area Bold will bring leaders, visionaries and innovators together with the larger Bay Area community for two days of fresh thinking, connection, artistic and cultural activations, and celebration. In a region in which people-of-color are the majority, communities of color will continue to drive growth and change into the foreseeable future. The Summit is a call for collective regional action to tap into this potential, unlock opportunities for all people in the Bay Area, and work together for racial and economic inclusion.
