Yale CEO Summit 2026 starts on December 15, 2026.

The 2026 summit is held in New York.

The audience includes senior corporate leaders, including chairmen, presidents, and CEOs, as well as leading scholars.

It is most valuable for sitting chairmen, presidents and CEOs who want candid, off-the-record peer discussion, since the format is described as small and interactive, free of vendor pitches, and led by Professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld with academics from schools such as Yale and Harvard. Senior executives below the CEO level, vendors and anyone seeking a large networking crowd or an exhibit floor would get little from it, because the summit is intimate and aimed at top leaders.

CEOs at executive summits in New York usually wear business attire, such as suits or blazers with open-collar shirts, and December weather calls for a good overcoat.
