2026 Annual Dinner

About Our 2026 Annual Dinner

More than 200 members, guests and university students joined us for our 2026 Annual Dinner on April 23, offering a powerful reminder of the strength of our community and the value of coming together around a shared purpose.

We were especially honored to hear from former Google executive Steve Lerch, whose keynote on AI strategies and tactics challenged us to think differently about how we approach innovation and the future.

We’re incredibly grateful to our sponsors for making this event possible, especially Title Sponsor Blue Owl Capital and Platinum Sponsor HPS Investment Partners, LLC.
