Global capital is arriving in Orange County. What determines where it lands is being planned. You should be part of the conversation.

Join OC C-Suite | CEO Collective for this executive leadership focus on global strategy, international business, and redefining leadership, uniting founders, investors, chief executives, and innovators around the conditions that move our region forward: capital access, cultural intelligence, trust, innovation, and relationships.

The 1st Annual OC Global Leadership in Innovation Summit unites visionary business leaders, global strategists, investors, and cultural intelligence for a day that moves between keynote conversations, live performance, and exclusive dialogue that changes how you see your leadership approach, market position, and space on the global stage.

Join history in the making as Silicon Valley strategy meets global culture, innovation meets enterprise, and Orange County establishes itself as a strategic force in global commerce. Gather to explore why Orange County — inside the world's fourth largest economy, home to 19,717 foreign-owned enterprises statewide and $2.62 billion in AI and machine learning venture capital last year — is emerging as a strategic gateway for foreign companies entering the United States. We will cover market-entry pathways, capital access, and the infrastructure our region is building to attract and support foreign direct investment. And we will examine the largest wealth transfer in history — $124 trillion changing hands by 2048, with women receiving $47 trillion of it — and what it means for who directs capital next.

The summit features the conversations shaping our region's next decade: Foreign Direct Investment. Cultural Intelligence as Strategy. Global Positioning. Women and the Great Wealth Transfer. Jazz Bands for Peak Performance. Optimism as an Operating Model.

Building on the transformative success of the OC Women in Innovation movement created and launched in 2024 by OC C-Suite founder Anne Tammel — the Fortune 100 advisor, Global Positioning Strategist, and Silicon Valley native who began her career at the firm that launched the Macintosh — we now bring Silicon Valley into the center of Orange County to place our region on the map as a global center of innovation.

The Summit marks the launch of Thought Leaders and Innovators, the next book in Anne's Redefining Leadership series, followed by a VIP reception and Meet the Speakers celebration, where you meet thought leaders from the book, enjoy cocktails with light faire, network with OC's C-Suite, and share an evening you won't forget.
