That brand can influence someone’s decision to visit, go shopping and dining, support a beloved sports team, or even decide to make that city their home.

Five of the Sacramento region’s top marketing experts will be at Drexel University Sacramento on Tuesday, May 21 (6-7:30 p.m.) to discuss various ways that Sacramento’s brand will need to be rebuilt for the city to continue thriving.
