Featuring James MacGregor, Publisher of the San Jose/Silicon Valley Business Journal
James MacGregor, publisher of the Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal, will be the featured speaker at the Chamber Member Breakfast October 19, 7:30 to 9:00 a.m. at the Cocoanut Grove. He will describe the persuasive evidence pointing towards economic recovery in Silicon Valley. Increasing demand for commercial real estate, employees, and capital throughout the Valley suggest that the regional tech sectors are emerging re-invigorated with new business models and an adaptive philosophy.
But, MacGregor asks, will local governments join in this "retooling" of philosophy and structures to become an effective partner in this new era? In a market place of global competition, innovation, and high-finance what do communities need to do to remain that place that attracts top-flight knowledge workers, venture capital, and the sparkle of success.
In addition to MacGregor’s talk, the meeting will include a brief presentation of the results of the more than 100 responses to the survey evaluating the Chamber’s performance and providing guidance as to the activities the Chamber should focus its attention.
