NEXT at its core is a community-building and networking conference. Take advantage of dedicated blocks to meet other NEXT attendees, including local entrepreneurs and startup employees, operators living in the North Bay, investors, and other community leaders.

Learn from powerful and punchy keynotes and discussions providing inspiration and purpose from some of the most successful entrepreneurs living in the North Bay.

Hear from many of the most innovative early-stage founders building across Marin + Sonoma. Presenters have five minutes and five slides to share their company vision with the assembled North Bay community.

Grab your lunch and spend more time getting to know fellow NEXT attendees. Use a portion of this time to engage in Q&A with the local startup founder presenters as part of our popular ‘Meet the Founders’ segment.

Everyone’s favorite NEXT tradition! Finish the day outdoors on the beautiful Meadowlands Lawn. Make more new friends while enjoying food and drinks to wrap up the day.
