2016 Conferences Calendar
In 2015 the USV Network hosted 50+ meetup events and social gatherings. Since our portfolio is distributed across 20 cities in 6 countries, we often try to center NYC or SF centric events around other larger conferences, so anyone outside of those cities could pair their trip with another event.
As we plan 2016, we’ve crowdsourced the top conferences and events that our portfolio is planning to attend. Check out the calendar if you’re looking for great events, want to plan your own event without conflicting with others, or if you’re just planning trips to SF and want to avoid Oracle or Salesforce conferences hotel-pricing.
One last note, our portfolio shares interests beyond just traditional “tech”, so you’ll see a mix of things from maker events to money conferences, music to film. This list is not comprehensive so if there is anything not included here, please add it in the comments or ping me on twitter, @br_ttany.
