Silicon Valley VIP Club Annual Forum 2026

Where capital, ideas, and leaders shape the future.

Silicon Valley VIP Club Annual Forum is a private, high-trust gathering for venture investors, founders, AI leaders, and ecosystem builders shaping the next chapter of Silicon Valley.

This is not a conventional speaker conference. It is designed as a close forum for serious conversations, curated relationships, thoughtful recognition, and direct access to a community actively building the future of technology and capital.

About Silicon Valley VIP Club

SV VIP Club was formed by active venture investors in Silicon Valley, with members deeply connected to venture capital, technology, entrepreneurship, and global capital markets.

As the Club grows, one of its missions is to bring thoughtful investors, founders, and next-generation leaders into a more connected and influential Silicon Valley community.

Featured Speakers & Distinguished Guests

The Forum will convene a select group of leaders shaping the next stage of AI across research, computing infrastructure, robotics, venture capital, and entrepreneurship.

Planned speakers and participants include Prof. Yi Cui (Fortinet Founders Professor) and Prof. James Zou of Stanford University; Ed H. Chi of Google; John Hu and Spencer Huang of NVIDIA; Allen Yang of UC Berkeley; leaders from Carnegie Mellon University, Microsoft, AWS, TetraMem, Prosperity7 Ventures, Stanford Ventures, and other prominent institutions and investment firms, along with a mysterious special guest to be announced.
