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.

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.

Rugged Pacific coastline in California: weathered tan rock bluffs covered with red and green ice plant overlook a turquoise cove, with offshore sea stacks, white surf, and deep blue ocean stretching toward a hazy headland under a pale sky.

California's Pacific coastline runs for hundreds of miles where coastal mountains meet the sea — rugged headlands, turquoise coves, and sea stacks along the route from Big Sur and the Central Coast to beaches north and south.
