The Super Bowl is over, but Bay Area Host Committee CEO Zaileen Janmohamed hardly gets a break. The World Cup is just around the corner.
In an 18-month span, cities from San Francisco to San Jose will have hosted NBA All-Star Weekend, the NFL’s biggest game and FIFA World Cup action.
The BAHC was founded in 2022 to bring events of that scale to the area—and to ensure the region got the most out of each big game. Amidst the Super Bowl festivities, the Bay emphasized its tech might with a new Innovation Summit, which could become an annual tentpole.
“This Super Bowl really is about re-showcasing the Bay and showing people what the Bay is really about,” Janmohamed told Sportico in February.
Janmohamed will be among the featured speakers at Sportico ‘s Invest West event on Wednesday, May 6, at the Presidio Golf Course & Clubhouse in San Francisco.
Following a largely pandemic-driven downturn, there are signs of optimism around San Francisco’s economy, ranging from decreases in crime to spikes in office visits and real estate leases. Both Anthropic and OpenAI lead the artificial intelligence boom from headquarters within city limits. Sports decision makers are getting on board.
“It’s a place to grow your business, not only because we have such a broad-based fan demographic, but also because it’s the center of business here in terms of technology,” Janmohamed said, “and that’s where most of these entities are going, is looking at tech on the field, off the field, from a revenue perspective. This is the place you want to be.”
