Supporters & Sponsors
We have been blessed to feature inspiring Christian speakers such as Promod Haque (top venture capitalist), Ron Johnson (started the Apple stores, CEO of JC Penneys), Diane Flynn (founder of Reboot), Henry Kaestner (Co-founder of Sovereign’s Capital), Kirk Perry (Google President, Brand Solutions), Pat Gelsinger (CEO of VMWare) and Dr. Condoleezza Rice (former U.S. Secretary of State).
Connect Silicon Valley (formerly the Silicon Valley Prayer Breakfast) is in its 25th year. It impacts a diverse audience of Silicon Valley business, non-profit, and government workers, as well as other professionals. The event attracts people who are followers of Christ as well as many others from other faith traditions and some who are simply curious about faith. With an audience of 900, the event is one of the largest annual speaker forums held in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Without the help of generous Patrons and Sponsors, the Connect Silicon Valley would not be financially viable because of the ever increasing costs of producing these events. For example, at the Annual Breakfast, the fully loaded cost of producing the event is about $60 per guest. However, the price of admission for each guest is only $40. To maintain a reasonable price to the table hosts and provide a quality experience for the attendees, and help fund other events and activities, we invite individuals and companies to participate in the SVPB Patrons and Sponsors Program.
The Silicon Valley Annual Breakfast is part of the Altos Christian Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The non-denominational events are neither a fundraiser nor associated with any particular church or denomination.
