A busy San Diego summer
Dear EDC investors and partners,
There’s nothing better than a San Diego summer. The days are longer, the weather is stunning, and there’s no shortage of reasons to get outside, reconnect, and spend time with the people who make this region such a remarkable place to live and work. While our summer calendars may be full, we know the best work happens when we make time to be together—to share ideas, drive momentum, and strengthen the partnerships that move our region forward.
Our Annual Dinner was just the start for EDC! This summer, we’re continuing to bring together business and community leaders from across our binational region to connect around the innovation, industries, and opportunities shaping San Diego’s future. We’d love to see you at one (or more!) of our upcoming events:
San Diego Business Impact Awards:
Nominations due June 18 | 4:00 p.m. Together with JPMorganChase, we’re celebrating middle market companies creating meaningful economic impact across San Diego County. We are seeking nominations from companies across all industries with exceptional year-over-year growth. Apply before end of day June 18.
- Plus: Join us to celebrate our top honorees on July 23 for an awards presentation and reception at the Scripps Research Auditorium.
Invest in San Diego Breakfast:
June 22 | 7:30–9:30 a.m. As part of BIO 2026, we hope you’ll join EDC, WTCSD, GO-Biz, IQHQ, and the San Diego County Water Authority for a conversation highlighting San Diego’s globally recognized life sciences ecosystem to an international audience. Hear from an inspiring panel of executives from Illumina, Daré Bioscience, La Jolla Labs, and Novartis, moderated by Biocom’s Miguel Motta. Space is limited, register now.
Summer Bash
Save the date: September 23. EDC’s annual Summer Bash is back! Join us in celebrating San Diego’s innovation ecosystem together with Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. Registration coming soon; reach out to me to explore sponsorship opportunities.
And into Q3/4: Stay tuned for more opportunities to engage, including our Quarterly Committees, Inclusive Growth Roundtables, and the launches of our Go Global 2030 Report and the Defense Innovation Roadmap.
Thank you for being part of our community and for the role you play in making San Diego life-changing. We’ll see you soon.
With gratitude and respect,
Bree Burris
Sr. Director, Communications & Community Engagement
