From May 27–29, Yale hosted the annual Yale Innovation Summit, one of the Northeast’s leading gatherings of entrepreneurs, investors, founders, and thought leaders. This high-energy, multi-day event drew over 2,500 guests to campus and featured programming across six venues: Yale School of Management, Yale Science Building, Peabody Museum, Kline 14, Kroon Hall, and Steep Café/Pavilion.
