​The 11th Annual Bay Area Capital Connections (BACCXI) is the Alliance for Community Development’s annual conference aimed at convening the Bay Area entrepreneurship ecosystem and increasing access to all sources of capital (financial, social, human, intellectual and cultural) for all Bay Area entrepreneurs.

PURPOSE
At BACC XI, we connect key stakeholders in our entrepreneurship ecosystem (funders, trainers, mentors, and decision-makers), diverse entrepreneurs, and community leaders from all over the Bay Area. With approximately 200 attendees,  powerful featured entrepreneur speakers, influential keynote speakers, and interactive breakout sessions, we are focused on generating VALUES-aligned business opportunities for all.

THIS YEAR IS UNIQUE
This year, we will introduce our VALUES System, an exciting new model for identifying and strengthening community-based, community-serving businesses, to our ecosystem. Specifically, we will be focusing on our "S" in VALUES: Sustainability. How can our entrepreneurship ecosystem be more bold in its embrace of sustainability?

Then, from 4 to 6pm, the Alliance will host a 20-Year Celebration, celebrating two decades of ecosystem-building and community empowerment in the Bay Area Ecosystem on the David Brower Center’s outdoor patio with drinks, hors-d'oeuvres, and speakers who embody our vision.
