Policy Insights Conference

About Policy Insights

Join us for the Budget Center’s annual Policy Insights conference, which brings together experts, advocates, community leaders, philanthropy, and public sector professionals working to advance equitable public policy.

Through plenary sessions, learning labs, and interactive workshops, attendees will gain actionable tools, policy insights, and deeper connections to advance justice and expand opportunity across the state. 

This year’s sessions will explore the key issues shaping Californians’ lives — including health care, housing, food assistance, child care, and safety net programs — and examine how state leaders can respond to federal threats and emerging fiscal challenges.

For over 30 years, the Budget Center has helped advocates, policymakers, philanthropy, and the media navigate California’s complex budget and policy landscape. Join us to learn from our team of experts and connect with others working to advance bold, people-centered solutions across the state.
