Valley Vision is Thrilled to Host the Livability Summit on October 1, 2025.

The Livability Summit is Valley Vision's annual collaborative conference for advancing equity, sustainability, and prosperity. Each year, the Summit brings together a diverse cross-section of community members and regional leaders to learn, engage, and act on issues that matter most in our region.  In 2025, we are proud to partner with the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) to align Summit content with the 2025 Blueprint for regional growth. Grounded in Valley Vision’s data-driven Livability Poll and fueled by lived experience, the Summit features thought-provoking presentations, panel conversations, and small-group dialogues that examine the state of our region’s livability. This year, we will also focus on transportation and land use for the next 20+ years through the launch of SACOG’s 2025 Blueprint.

At the Livability Summit, participants will explore the issues that matter most, build alignment around shared priorities, and identify clear, actionable steps to create lasting impact. Whether you're a policymaker, community advocate, business leader, or resident, the Livability Summit is your opportunity to be part of a growing movement toward a healthier, more inclusive, and more livable region for all.

New speakers for 2025 will be announced soon!

Data-Driven Solutions

Valley Vision routinely conducts research on priority issues to gather and understand the perspectives of the community.

At the 2025 Livability Summit, we’re proud to align our work with the Sacramento Area Council of Governments’ (SACOG) 2025 Blueprint—a bold, data-driven vision for regional growth. SACOG’s research and planning will help guide Summit content and conversations about housing, climate resilience, economic opportunity, and mobility. We will also feature the economic initiatives and research from Valley Vision’s economic growth initiative, We Prosper Together.

The Livability Poll—our annual “Wellness Check” on quality of life in the Sacramento Capital Region—remains a cornerstone of this work. Insights from the 2024 poll helped center conversations around critical issues such as housing, affordability, and access to opportunity. The 2025 Livability Poll will be released in August, providing fresh data to inform this year’s Summit and shape regional priorities moving forward.

Valley Vision routinely conducts actionable research to shape action. Recent initiatives include the Inclusive Economy Poll, which highlights the barriers and opportunities residents face in achieving economic security; the regional Broadband for Business Report that advances digital equity across underserved communities, and the Coordinated Rural Opportunities Plan, which identified policies and infrastructure investments that support the region’s agricultural sustainability and long-term economic health and resiliency.

Explore the research and planning efforts that are helping create a bold, shared vision for a more equitable, sustainable, and connected region.
