The Octane team would like to invite you to our second annual Partnership Summit, the kickoff of Octane’s year-long 20th Anniversary celebration! The virtual Summit will be an opportunity for us to reflect on how far we’ve come over the past 20 years and look ahead to 2022 and beyond. Octane has provided high-impact results over the past 20 years.

We will also highlight the significant impact we have had collectively in the community, thank our current partners and meet with business colleagues through our engaging networking platform, Remo.

The Partnership Summit is a two-part event on Thursday, February 24th. First is a virtual session from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm  PT with updates from Bill Carpou, Octane’s CEO, the co-chairs of the Octane Board, Emile Haddad and Jen Leuer, as well as a discussion between the original founders of Octane. The virtual event is followed later in the day by an optional outdoor cocktail reception in collaboration with UCI Beall Applied Innovation, at Hangar 24 in Irvine from 5:30 – 7:30 pm PT.

Register here.
