OCTA Business Expo Speakers Will Inform and Inspire on Oct. 23

Packed with practical workshops and opportunities to learn how to do business with OCTA and its regional partners, the OCTA Business Expo is right around the corner on Oct. 23 at the Disneyland Hotel.

During the luncheon program, two speakers will offer their perspectives on the challenges and opportunities of doing business.

Keynote Speaker, Kish Rajan, Director, Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz), will deliver important observations about California jobs, economic development and more during his luncheon keynote address.

Rajan was appointed as the GO-Biz Director by Governor Brown in 2012. His directive from Governor Brown is to enhance California’s job creation effort by streamlining business regulations, promoting statewide economic development and fostering greater international trade opportunities.

Special guest speaker Wing Lam, co-founder of Wahoo’s Tacos, is the face of the surf-inspired taco chain, with 65 restaurants in seven states.  Lam will offer inspiration drawn from his success as a local entrepreneur. The company started almost 25 years ago in an old Italian restaurant near a stretch of industrial office plazas in Costa Mesa.

The conference features a whole day (including lunch) of learning opportunities, inspiring speakers, and worthwhile connections for only $50. Learn more.
