What attendees are saying.

SA

“I just wanted to reach out and say thank you for coordinating Convoy. I was there all three days, taking full advantage of the panels, talks, and networking opportunities. I left feeling so energized and inspired by all the alumni! I have never been more confident that this is what I'm meant to do with my life.”

DH

“I just wanted to reach out personally to say thank you. This conference has been an incredible experience for me – not just for the insights I gained that I wouldn't have found anywhere else but also for the chance to interact and connect with those great founders in person. It really made me realize how they aren't distant but people just like me, and this could be me too.”
— David Huang (BE '26)
