Conferences

YES hosts regional conferences each year featuring well-known speakers for students, faculty, alumni, and professionals. Organized in cities around the country - including New Haven, New York, Boston, Silicon Valley, and Omaha - and comprised of receptions, dinners, panel discussions, and keynote addresses, these events enhance YES’ regional presence, encourage continued alumni involvement in YES, and facilitate cooperation between Yale and other universities across the country. Each April, YES holds its major end-of-year conference - the Innovation Summit - in New Haven to celebrate Yale’s dynamic entrepreneurship community.
