About Black Leadership Conference
The Stanford GSB Black Business Student Association (BBSA) is excited to host the 2026 Black Leadership Conference.
We are thrilled to welcome distinguished Black executives, founders, investors, and leaders to the GSB for a day of knowledge-sharing, relationship-building, and empowerment.
The Black Leadership Conference aims to inspire and support attendees in shaping what it means to be a leader across various spheres of influence. This year’s theme, Blackness Unbound: Breaking Barriers, Shaping the Future, reflects the power of moving beyond narrow expectations and redefining what leadership can look like. It is a call to challenge the traditional boxes Black people are often placed in, to celebrate excellence in spaces where we have historically been underrepresented, and to explore how we continue building resilient leadership for the future.
Through a dynamic lineup of keynote speakers, panels, and breakout conversations, the conference will highlight stories of resilience, innovation, and impact across industries. We aim to create space for bold dialogue, shared learning, and community-building as attendees consider how to break barriers and shape what comes next.
All are welcome. We especially encourage those outside the Black community to join these conversations, engage with curiosity, and learn alongside us.
See you there!
Space is limited. Tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
When: Saturday, May 16, 2026, 9:00 am to 4:00 pm
Where: Knight Management Center, Cemex Auditorium, Stanford Graduate School of Business
Who: All are welcome, including students, alumni, faculty, staff, and community members.
