YCC Tech Speaker Series

Who should we bring to campus?

We're building a fireside chat series with Yale alumni and tech builders. Intimate, unscripted conversations about what they're building, how they got there, and what they'd do differently. Help us pick the speakers.

Know someone we should invite?

We're looking for Yale alumni in tech, founders, researchers, or professors doing interesting work. The format is a casual fireside chat — no slides, no pitch decks, just a real conversation.

What we're looking for
  • // Yale connection (alum, faculty, researcher)
  • // Building something students would care about
  • // Willing to keep it real — not a corporate keynote
  • // Can be lowkey — professors count, not just CEOs
The Format

Fireside chats, not lectures

Small group. Unscripted. The speaker talks about their work, takes questions, and keeps it real. Think 30 minutes of conversation + 20 minutes of open Q&A. Catered, of course.

Help us build the lineup

The best speaker ideas come from students who know who's doing interesting work. Nominate someone — it takes 30 seconds.
