Titled “A Region in Transition: The Future is Here,” the conference will be hosted by Frank Mottek, anchor for KNX 1070 NEWSRADIO, and will provide an wide-ranging, data-driven report on the current state of the South Bay, as well as the outlook for 2019. It also provides a summary of the economic outlooks for California and the nation.
The economic report will be delivered by William Yu, economist UCLA Anderson Forecast.
“As the southern part of Silicon Beach, South Bay is one of the more dynamic regions in Southern California. The most important driver of South Bay’s economy is the manufacturing sector, and the crown jewel is its aerospace and defense industry,” said Yu. “We predict that South Bay’s growth rate will accelerate over the next year, mostly due to the expansion of the federal government’s defense budget. Additionally, SpaceX and the new NFL stadium will continue to transform and advance the local economy.”
The fourth annual forecast event will also include presentations by CSUDH professors on regional economic development, and a panel of local visionaries and industry executives discussing trends in technology, new media, smart cities, and personal mobility.
