Opening Remarks and Keynote
Diane Helfrey, Michael Klowden, Dan Schnur, Toni Atkins, John Chiang
Hosted by the Milken Institute and Sacramento Bee director Dan Schnur, this conference convened key figures such as State Treasurer John Chung and Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins to launch a sustained dialogue on California's critical challenges in housing, workforce development, and climate finance. The event highlighted the urgent need for cross-sector collaboration to bridge the "missing middle" housing gap, address a projected 2030 labor shortage, and mobilize a record $1.75 billion JPMorgan Chase investment alongside a new state Green Bond Pledge. Attendees acknowledged a deep public trust deficit that can only be resolved by uniting public, private, and nonprofit leaders to implement innovative financing mechanisms and streamline legislative priorities for the state's future.

Impact Investing: Where Are the Deals?
Amit Bouri, John Chiang, Tony Davis, Giles Gunesekera, Deval Patrick, James Gifford, Shiran
Industry leaders from TIAA, Bain Capital, Inherent Group, and the California State Treasurer's office convened to address the critical gap between high consumer interest and the slow deployment of capital in impact investing. Panelists detailed strategic approaches to scaling growth and control investments through specific sectors like affordable housing and inclusive finance, while highlighting the urgent need for standardized measurement frameworks like IRIS to harmonize market expectations. Looking forward, the discussion emphasized that demographic shifts, particularly the impending $40 trillion inheritance by Millennials and increased female financial control, will drive the adoption of regenerative capital models alongside policy reforms to unlock additional tax incentives.

2015 CA Summit - Perception vs. Reality: Is California Business Friendly?
Eric Garcetti, Michael Milken, John Chiang, Donna Davis, Steven Mnuchin
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and panelists highlighted the city's transformation into a global model for economic growth, driven by streamlined permitting processes, a $25 million Bolloré Group investment, and record job creation in sectors ranging from aerospace to digital media. While the event celebrated LA's surge to the second-largest U.S. financial hub and its status as the world's top green technology incubator, speakers also confronted critical challenges including high real estate costs, housing unaffordability, and a regressive tax structure that threatens to drive out talent. Forward-looking recommendations centered on creating a digital one-stop shop for business compliance and leveraging the city's diverse demographics to capture international markets.
