Set for Sept. 1-2 at the Hilton Bayfront, the national conference is part of the San Diego Art Fair.  Through multiple panel discussions, the conference will establish a national forum on the best ideas and most successful techniques for growing innovation economies. Topics discussed will include:

Forester, principal of Catalyst and a member of the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities, is on a panel on Sept. 2 on “Growing Talent – Integrating Arts into Education.

That same day, CONNECT CEO Roth will give a talk on “The History of Innovation in San Diegoand Growing Talent/Growing Business.”

Topics to be explored include:   What is an innovation economy? What role does talent play in achieving this goal? What about place? What is the interaction between these two and what does it mean to a regional economy to become recognized nationally as a leader in cultivating the arts and developing beautiful public spaces.
