The Progress Seminar is Chamber San Mateo County’s seminar program that convenes the region’s thought leaders and decision-makers to tackle some of our community’s lasting problems and explore possibilities to harness eminent opportunities to continue to make San Mateo County a great place to work, live and visit.

The Progress Seminar is where business, government, labor and education are represented by a dynamic mix of nearly 300 attendees each year from all communities of San Mateo County and beyond.

Attendees leave the Progress Seminar with fresh ideas, newfound partnerships, and revitalized energy that drive improved public policy, stronger alliances, and a culture of listening, understanding and collaboration. This happens because there is no other county that brings people together in a forum like the Progress Seminar and fosters a positive approach to accomplishing collective goals.

The event program for the 2024 Progress Seminar can be accessed here.
