What to Expect
Throughout the weekend, you’ll hear from:
- Local startup founders who’ve been where you are now
- Industry experts sharing real-world advice
- Community leaders who are shaping the San Diego innovation ecosystem
No fluff. No buzzword bingo. Just real talk from people who’ve built, failed, pivoted, and succeeded.
Want to be a SPEAKER?
We’re always looking for diverse, authentic voices from across the startup and creative communities.
If you have a story, experience, or insight that would inspire early-stage founders, we’d love to hear from you.
