Rillet Recon | San Francisco
RILLET RECON
Event Details
New York set the bar this April. Now we're raising it on the West Coast.
Join us in San Francisco for Rillet Recon: a private, one-day summit (9am–5pm) designed exclusively for finance leaders.
Set within the historic Julia Morgan Ballroom, the experience is intentionally kept intimate — a curated room built for genuine peer exchange, sharp practical insights, and the kind of candid conversations that don't happen at scale.
Space is limited. The conversation won't be.
