Why We Gather
Part of the Alliance’s approach to ecosystem work is in-person and virtual connection. The Alliance hosts over 300 participants in a variety of convenings each year, ranging from social gatherings to business development support workshops to community ask-and-give forums.
We believe deeply in collaboration, which is why our events are often hosted in partnership with other organizations within the Bay Area business ecosystem. We work with local vendors and our own clients as much as possible for our events, especially where there’s food involved!
Annual Conference
At each Bay Area Capital Connections conference (BACC), we connect key stakeholders in our entrepreneurship ecosystem (investors, trainers, mentors, and decision-makers), diverse entrepreneurs, and community leaders from all over the Bay Area. With approximately 200 attendees, powerful featured entrepreneur speakers, influential keynote speakers, and interactive breakout sessions, we convene the Bay Area entrepreneurship ecosystem and increase access to all sources of capital (financial, social, human, intellectual and cultural) for all Bay Area entrepreneurs. Each year, we are focused on generating values-aligned business opportunities for all.
WOW, Sacramento! Thank You for Joining Our First Sacramento Small Business Mixer
What an incredible evening!
We were thrilled to welcome entrepreneurs, small business owners, and community partners to our first Sacramento Small Business Mixer. The energy in the room, new connections, and engaging conversations made the event a huge success.
As Alliance for Community Development continues expanding into Sacramento County, we’re excited to support and connect with even more local businesses. This mixer was just the beginning, and we look forward to creating more opportunities for entrepreneurs to network, learn, and grow.
A special thank you to the City of Sacramento for helping sponsor the mixer and our upcoming From Zero to AI cohort workshop series. Their support helps us provide valuable resources and educational opportunities to the small business community.
Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make this event such a memorable milestone. We can’t wait to see you at the next one!
