PROGRAMS

iTAL Foundation executes on its mission through a series of programs focused on education and knowledge sharing.

OPEN EVENTS

Speakers or panels on subjects of broad interest for the Italian and Italian-American community around innovation, economic development and social good. These events provide fantastic opportunities for both learning and networking, as attendees cover the spectrum of successful founders, senior executives, startup & scaleup entrepreneurs, professionals, public sector representatives, investors, and thought leaders.

• Targeting 4 events per year.
• Open to members (at a reduced rate) and non-members.
  
  

THE SILICON CONVIVIO™

The Silicon Convivio brings together a select group of leaders around a single table for candid conversation and meaningful connection over lunch. Each gathering features one or two prominent voices on a topic of current relevance, followed by an interactive discussion among participants. With intentionally limited attendance of 10 to 20 people, the format encourages thoughtful dialogue, direct exchange with the speakers, and high-quality peer connection — all in an elegant, relaxed setting.

MEMBER-ONLY EVENTS

These member-only events focus on new trends, less widely known subjects, discussed in a smaller group with a much higher level of interactivity.

• Targeting two events per year.
• Open to members only
