MAKE HISTORY. APRIL 16. UCI.
For the first time.
The 1st Annual Global Women in Innovation Summit is the first of its kind — uniting global business leaders, cultural performers, AI strategists, international trade experts, and women innovators on the UCI Beall Center of Innovation Paul Merage School of Business stage. With global participation via live stream, this Summit places Orange County on the world map as the center of innovation, worldwide unity and empowerment, modern leadership, and cultural power. What begins here on April 16 becomes the global gathering that redefines leadership and innovation.
And you will have been there.
THE EXPERIENCE
The Summit is not a conference. It is a convergence — where Silicon Valley strategy meets global culture, innovation meets art, and the women in the room create the history. The afternoon moves between keynote conversations, live cultural performances, and expert panels on Global Innovation and Trade and the Stella Zhang New Venture Competition.
Sunset VIP Cocktail Reception — 5:00–7:00 PM, Third Floor Terrace
