Yale Innovation Summit
Next stop, New Haven: the Yale Innovation Summit
AJ Keirans spent May 27–28 at the 2026 Yale Innovation Summit, the Northeast’s largest innovation gathering and a short drive from our Shelton office.
On May 27–28, AJ Keirans was on Yale's campus in New Haven for the 2026 Yale Innovation Summit, hosted by Yale Ventures.
The Summit is the Northeast's largest innovation gathering. More than 2,600 people came for 60-plus sessions across six tracks (arts, biotech, civic, climate, health and tech), and more than 300 ventures pitched across six competitions. For Good Human Partners it was a home game, a short drive from our Shelton office.
In AJ's words
Next stop: New Haven - Yale Innovation Summit (Yale Ventures)
When Jack Nork speaks out in support of an event, you should listen. When it’s a quick drive from the home office, it becomes a no-brainer.
In this year of growth and development for Good Human Partners, we have continued our commitment to learning and asking questions. This focus has helped inspire us to build custom solutions and workflows for all of our clients. A big part of that is a willingness to push what we thought was possible through exploration and willingness to try new technology, approaches and perspectives. With decades of experience, it would be easy to fall back on our laurels and continue down the same path as so many, but this old dog is loving learning new tricks and some might say excelling at it.
Like Greenbook IIEX, which was a great time with many opportunities to learn and think outside the box, the Yale University Innovation Summit has me just as excited to continue to step out of my comfort zone. No GHP agenda. No GHP pitch. Just another opportunity to broaden my network and learn from others. For all small businesses, I can’t recommend this enough. We need to continue to look out for each other and support wherever possible.
If you are attending today and want to connect, don’t hesitate to reach out. My pizza recommendation for the best style of pizza around would be Modern Apizza 🍕 - you can thank me later. And if I haven’t poked the bear nearly enough with that, UCONN is the best basketball 🏀 program in modern history.
