2016 CA Summit - A Hard Sixth: Keeping California Strong in a Competitive Global Economy
Michael Milken, Kevin de León, Scott Minerd, Gabriel Petek, Marcus Thygeson, Mimi Walters
California leverages its status as the world's fifth-largest economy to drive global bioscience innovation and secure over 60% of U.S. venture capital, despite facing acute fiscal volatility and a $74 billion in retiree health liabilities. Key figures including Senator Kevin de Leon and Representative Mimi Walters debated strategies to balance aggressive clean energy investments with necessary corporate tax reforms to reverse manufacturing decline and resident outflows. Future growth hinges on democratizing access to education and early childhood programs while shifting pension portfolios toward infrastructure to sustain the state's demographic precarity and high cost of living.

Part 1- Jerry Brown and Kevin de León | Part 2-Trends in Global Entertainment
Jerry Brown, Kevin de León, Mike Milken, Julia Bernstein, Peter Rice
Governor Jerry Brown and Senator Kevin de León led a major California conference to announce an aggressive executive order mandating a 40% carbon reduction by 2030 while outlining a "50-50-50" framework for energy efficiency and petroleum use. Despite the last-minute cancellation of Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the event featured a closing panel analyzing how Hollywood is adapting its financial models and content strategies to capture 70% of global revenue through international markets and direct-to-consumer platforms. These initiatives collectively reinforce the state's role as a subnational leader in climate policy and a driver of the global entertainment economy.
