Register for Waves Innovation Summit

On Saturday, March 28, 2026, at 10 AM in Elkins Auditorium, the Waves Innovation Summit invites Pepperdine's business and entrepreneurship community to engage in conversations surrounding the most pressing topics in innovation and technology. This annual conference aims to strengthen the bond between students, professors, and alumni and advance the University's entrepreneurship community. Visit the event's webpage to see the full list of featured speakers and get a sneak preview into the ideas behind the Waves Innovation Summit on Pepperdine's official podcast, PeppTalk.

In partnership with producers of ABC’s Shark Tank, live casting calls will take place during the Summit—providing a unique opportunity for qualified participants to pitch their business ideas and potentially earn a spot on the show.

Register to attend. The event is free, but attendees are encouraged to make a gift of $20 or more to go to future Waves Innovation Summit events. Any funds raised from this event we will set aside for this program.
