Sohn San Francisco Investment Conference
October 13, 2026
The Sohn San Francisco Investment Conference brings together leading investors, allocators, and innovators for a day of compelling investment ideas, thought-provoking discussions, and meaningful connections — all in support of Bay Area youth.
Attendees will hear from prominent investment professionals, industry leaders, and innovators as they share perspectives on the markets, emerging trends, technology, and the future of investing. Presented in partnership with 100 Women in Finance, CalAlts, and SF Fund Week, Sohn San Francisco has raised more than $4 million to support organizations dedicated to improving educational outcomes, expanding access to higher education, and creating career and vocational opportunities for Bay Area youth.
As part of the global Sohn Conference Foundation, the event is one of a series of conferences held around the world that convene accomplished investors and industry leaders to share ideas, foster connections, and give back to their communities.
