SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- A major conference that took place earlier this month is set to return to San Francisco next year, according to SF Mayor Daniel Lurie's office. The J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference was held in the city between Jan. 13 and 16 and will be back for 2026. Lurie's office characterized this year's conference as a "success" with tens of thousands of visitors having reportedly attended and reported nearly $100 million in economic impact for the city. "What the world and the country needs to know is ... San Francisco is open for business," said Mayor Lurie, speaking to the San Francisco Chronicle. "It's really important that people hear that message... We have a lot to look forward to, and I want to make sure that San Francisco is thriving and vibrant again." Benioff: CEOs of today will be last to manage just humans "We are thrilled that the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference is coming back next year," Lurie said in a statement. "While we still have work to do, this is a huge vote of confidence in our city and everything we're doing to make San Francisco a safe and welcoming place for residents, businesses, and visitors." Since assuming office earlier this month, Lurie has been faced with continuing business closures including the announcement earlier this week that Bloomingdale's, the last remaining anchor store in the San Francisco Centre Mall, would be closing this spring. With downtown SF still littered with vacant storefronts and more closures looming for retailers like Walgreens and Starbucks, the impetus is on the new mayor to find ways to attract businesses, tourists, and conferences back to the city. Speaking to CNBC last week, Lurie said that moving more people off the streets into treatment for addiction and mental illness would help, "create the conditions for business leaders to want to come back here."
