The residential package just got better.
We extended it. Residential participants now spend four nights and five days on Stanford campus, with three meals a day included.
This is not a hotel near the venue. This is waking up on Stanford's campus, eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the dining halls, and being steps away from everyone else in this room for five straight days. The conversations that happen between sessions, over meals, on the walk back to your room, are where the real value of this event lives. You cannot manufacture that proximity anywhere else.
Rooms are extremely limited and almost sold out.
A code, just for you.
You're one of our subscribers, so here's something we're not running anywhere else.
Use SU_20 for 20% off any ticket.
This is only valid until June 25. One week. It expires automatically after that, and we won't be extending it. Please don't share this externally, it's just for you.
🚀 Exhibit your company.
A branded table and banner presence in front of hundreds of founders, investors, and operators across both program days, plus 3 minutes on the same stage that's hosting two Stanford presidents, the co-founder of xAI, and partners from Kleiner Perkins, Khosla Ventures, and a16z.
This is a small, curated group of exhibitors. The kind of spotlight that comes from a room built to be intimate, not massive. You're not competing for attention with 200 other logos. You're one of a handful of companies in front of exactly the people who matter to you.
Spots are limited for now, and 60% are already gone. Once they're gone, they're gone.

Pulled live from evion.app/events, where we track 167+ Bay Area events this week alone across 100+ platforms. This is the part of Evion built for you, whether or not you're coming to Stanford. One place, every event, no more digging through six tabs and a Discord.
