Kellogg Entrepreneurship Conference

The Kellogg Entrepreneurship Conference is a catalyst for ideas in motion: bringing together students, alumni, and builders who believe entrepreneurship is more than a career path; it's a way to shape the future. Designed for both seasoned founders and those still standing at the edge of possibility, the conference spotlights entrepreneurship as a powerful force for impact, innovation, and leadership.

In 2026, our mission is clear: to inspire action among students and professionals who are curious about entrepreneurship but haven't yet taken the leap. Through keynotes, hands-on startup fairs, and candid panels, we turn curiosity into confidence while enabling real learning and growth by connecting attendees with experienced founders, Kellogg faculty, Northwestern innovation programs, cross-school student networks, and vibrant female founder communities.

With a strong focus on outcomes, the conference creates clear pathways for joiners through hands-on experiences like our Startup Fair, opening doors for students eager to join early-stage teams and immerse themselves in the startup journey. More than a conference, it's a launchpad for ideas, relationships, and bold next steps shaping the future of business and innovation.
