Yale Alumni Innovation Discussion (Virtual Gathering)
Event Description
The Yale Alumni Innovation Network is a growing community centered around Yale alumni, bringing together individuals interested in innovation, entrepreneurship, startups, and emerging technologies.
This upcoming session will feature one to two speakers working at the frontier of innovation, sharing perspectives from their current work and exploring how new technologies are reshaping their respective fields.
The goal is simple:

👉 and foster meaningful connections across disciplines
In addition to the speaker session, we’ll include a virtual networking segment, allowing participants to engage more directly with one another.
