The Inspiration:

The next generation is primed—uniquely so—to take on the extraordinary challenge of renewing our economy. It’s not recovery that is needed; it’s the revitalization that comes from innovation, creativity, value building, and entrepreneurial spirit invested in all of our work. NextGen has been founded to help you.

Who’s this conference for? 

Ambitious, YOUNG entrepreneurs of tomorrow meet successful mentors that WANT to help you get started and/or improve your business.  Meet and learn from the best in the industry.

Experienced entrepreneurs, angel investors, or venture capitalists meet and help groom the next generation of entrepreneurs and fresh talent.  This is your opportunity to support new entrepreneurs and give back to the early start up community.

About the conference: 

NextGen is a one-day conference at Stanford University in the heart of Silicon Valley

NextGen’s mission is to help you succeed, by providing lectures, panels and networking opportunities on areas that are vital in building and maintaining your business. 

The NextGen Conference is hosted by Cory Levy and Daniel Brusilovsky.
