The inaugural State of the Peninsula is a region-wide civic forum hosted by the Foster City Chamber of Commerce, bringing together leaders from government, business, tourism, and economic development for a timely and solution-focused conversation about San Mateo County’s future.

In an era of rapid economic, social, and cultural change, this breakfast event invites open and honest dialogue about what’s working, what’s not, and how we can collaborate across sectors to build a stronger, more resilient Peninsula.
