In maritime terminology, a convoy is a group of ships moving together for mutual support and protection. As a nod to our Commodore mascot, Convoy 2025 will bring together Vanderbilt’s most notable alumni along with select students, faculty, parents, and other affiliates in Nashville to spark new ideas, foster collaboration and investment, advance careers, and accelerate business generation across the Vanderbilt network. Think of Convoy as SXSW meets Davos but with a healthy dose of Anchor Down!

While this event is primarily geared toward our alumni, we do want to provide access to students interested in entrepreneurship or venture capital. We have a limited number of these student seats and have created this application process to help fairly award access to Convoy.

 Of note, the cost of producing this event is $504.99 per seat. We realize this is a significant amount to ask you as a student to pay and are subsidizing the cost significantly so that those students can attend the main conference for $162.50, the healthcare conference for $87.50 or both conferences for $200.00. We also have scholarships available which can be requested when completing the application.
