HOSTED IN A NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK
Experience the grandeur and elegance of the Paramount Theatre in Oakland. Did you know it was built in 1931 and is a designated National Historic Landmark? With its iconic Art Deco charm, it's a beautiful setting for our speaker events - steeped in history and culture.
OUR OAKLAND VENUE HAS A FULL BAR AVAILABLE
Our Oakland venue is the only venue with a full bar so you can enjoy your favorite beverage while watching the speaker events. Our series makes for a perfect friends night out, date night, or team-bonding event. We’d love for you to join us!
SAFETY FIRST: OUR SECURITY PROTOCOLS
We take pride in Oakland! We've worked with the city to create a safety bubble around the venue so attendees have added peace of mind. Our protocol includes two off-duty Oakland police that circle the theatre with their Mars lights glowing before, during, and after the event, security personnel at the entrance / exits, and access to two convenient parking lots that are directly adjacent to the theatre.
SEVEN BRILLIANT EVENTS THAT WILL LEAVE YOU INSPIRED
Enjoy live speaker events between November and May curated with your input to present a range of ideas and innovations for the enrichment of our community. One ticket gives you access to ALL seven events! Tickets start at just $469/ea depending on your seat choice (that's just $67 per event to see nationally recognized speakers!!).
