The Sacramento Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce an impressive speaker line-up for the 2026-27 Sacramento Speakers Series that brings remarkable speakers and thought leaders to the Capital City. Led by the Sacramento Metro Chamber and presented by Sutter Health – in partnership with KCRA 3, My58 and KFBK News Radio – season tickets are now available to the public for the series that kicks off on September 30, 2026, at the SAFE Credit Union Performing Arts Center. A celebrated tradition more than two decades strong, the Speakers Series was founded in 2004 and acquired by the Sacramento Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce in 2025. The series has become a cornerstone of civic dialogue, featuring diverse and influential voices that provide invaluable insight to audiences eager to broaden their perspectives and deepen their understanding.
“This season’s Speakers Series lineup reflects our commitment to bringing influential leaders, fresh perspectives, and meaningful conversations to the Capital Region,” said Robert Heidt, President & CEO of the Sacramento Metro Chamber. “We are honored to continue building on the legacy of this premier program by welcoming an exceptional group of speakers who will inspire new ideas, challenge perspectives, and spark meaningful dialogue. As we continue to elevate the attendee experience, we look forward to bringing our community together for another memorable season.”
