The Downtown Symposium gathers civic leaders, business and property owners, and social entrepreneurs to capture the big ideas and forward-thinking energy for the future of Downtown Bakersfield. 

The event will feature presentations from people who are shaping the future of Bakersfield’s urban core, challenging the status quo and reimagining how we live, work and recreate in our city. 

The Hub of Bakersfield invites proposals for presentations in three thematic areas: 

  • Housing 

  • Downtown and the New Economy 

  • Community Development and Adaptive Reuse 

We measure proposals by the power of the idea; the expertise of the presenter; and the experience working in Downtown Bakersfield. If you are doing something profound in Downtown Bakersfield, please complete the submission form below.
