About this event

WATCH ON ZOOM!

**************************************************************************************************

Join sf.citi for the first discussion of our new event series, Mapping The Tech Exodus, where we will be exploring the changing landscape of tech and its effects on San Francisco and emerging tech hubs across the country. sea.citi’s Executive Director, Nicholas Merriam, will speak to sf.citi’s Executive Director, Jennifer Stojkovic, about the factors contributing to the ongoing migration of tech workers and companies outside of the San Francisco Bay Area, as well as approaches Seattle is taking to attract tech talent.

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, few industries have adapted to our "new normal" and shift to remote work like the tech industry. Many tech workers have jumped at the opportunity to live and work in a city outside the Bay Area with a higher quality of life, more affordable housing, and fewer taxes. In fact, the once-bustling tech epicenter of San Francisco has seen its population plummet as tech workers and companies relocate across the country.

Cities like Seattle, meanwhile, have benefitted from the San Francisco tech exodus. In 2020, Seattle had a net tech job gain of 7.6 percent—the most of any American city—and saw a 28 percent increase of incoming Bay Area residents. Already a premier city for tech, Seattle's other features—no state income tax, for one—have been a boon to its recent growth.

On February 10, join sf.citi and sea.citi as we compare the tech trends and policies between San Francisco and Seattle.

sf.citi has been tracking the latest developments in the tech exodus here. Take a look and come prepared with questions.
