Attendees will also receive exclusive discounts on tickets, shopping, and more. Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to learn, connect, and celebrate as Pioneers take over the Oakland Museum!

We're excited to partner with campus departments for two inspiring on-campus events this spring.

The Women in Leadership Conference brings together dynamic women from across industries to share their experiences, insights, and advice with the Pioneer community.

At Innovation Fest, top industry leaders will judge innovative business ideas from East Bay’s brightest minds, with finalists competing for funding and seed support.

These events highlight the creativity, leadership, and talent that define our university. Do not miss your chance to be part of the excitement and connect with the best of AVÀÇ! Alumni are welcome to attend as participants or share their experience as guest speakers.
