About
Real Companies. Real Issues. Real Feedback. The Forum hosts ten programs annually –seven case studies, two special topic programs, and a popular summer wine social.
- UNIQUE CASE STUDY FORMAT: The Forum welcomes the CEO of a local, up and coming, high technology company to present an executive overview with two current challenges facing the business. Presenting companies are privately held and have either completed a round of funding or are generating revenue to date. .
- MENTORING: An expert panel of advisors lends their advice and draws upon their experiences to provide feedback and potential solutions to these challenges based on their own professional experiences and expertise.
- EDUCATION: These business challenges are those encountered by most aspiring entrepreneurs —including financial, marketing, application of technology, operations, management, growth, diversification, and more—everyone walks away enlightened!
- EVERYONE IS WELCOME: All programs are presented in an open forum of approximately 250 guests; audience participation is encouraged.
The San Diego MIT Enterprise Forum is one of 24 chapters of MIT Enterprise Forum, Inc.

For members seeking opportunities to be more involved in the technology community, the San Diego Chapter welcomes volunteers to the Program Committee. This committee serves as a portal to working with presenting companies, panelists, and other members through subcommittees such as Membership, Pipeline, and Marketing. The committee meets monthly.
