Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why are we changing the format of our Israeli Summit?
As our community grows and evolves, we are launching the Excel Forum to better meet the needs of our members.
The new format will strengthen cross-generational connections, re-engage senior peers, and bring global Excelers to Israel for the first time.
It will create an exclusive platform for high-level dialogue, strategic networking, and shaping the future of Jewish-Israeli innovation. -
What is the location?
For the first time, the conference will take place in Tel Aviv, rather than outside the city, to make it more accessible for all community members.
This year’s conference is split into two parts:
-
Morning: We’ll meet for business sessions including panels, breakout discussions, and networking at the Dan Panorama Hotel.
-
Evening: Join us for a festive dinner and party at the L1 Event Venue.
You can find both locations linked in the buttons above.
