Past San Fernando Valley Business Journal Events

Throughout the year, the San Fernando Valley Business Journal hosts a series of high-profile events that bring together decision makers and business executives from all industries and all regions of the Valley area. Many of the programs recognize businesses and high-achieving individuals who positively impact the San Fernando Valley business community. It is always free to nominate a person or a business for an award.

Because Business Journal events draw the most influential local leaders, the programs provide sponsors with the opportunity to reach an important audience in a positive setting. Sponsorship opportunities are available at different levels to fit every budget.
