Summit XVI "Of All The Places I Could Be..."
November 22-24, 2024 at Santa Clara University

Inspired by the highly acclaimed movie "Everything Everywhere All AT Once", the theming of our 16th annual leadership conference lends itself towards the concept of understanding who you are and what you are in this universe. Out of all places, you can find yourself here.

Keynote Speaker

Tue Nguyen

Summit XVI’s coming in REAL quick, with only around more than a month to go! 😮 To get the excitement starting, the Programming team is excited to announce our Keynote Speaker this year, which is the one and only Chef Tuệ Nguyễn, also known as twaydabae! 🥳

twaydabae is a rising star in the online food space and an icon to the Vietnamese-American community. Since graduating culinary school, Tue has built her platform to showcase her culinary skills and creative ideas through content on Youtube, Instagram, and TikTok. Additionally, she is the host of Buzzfeed’s “Making it Big,” and People’s Magazine’s first digital food show “Celeb Eats.”

Tue’s success in selling out pop-up restaurants has ultimately led her to opening her first restaurant, Đi Đi, a high-end Vietnamese restaurant in West Hollywood, CA that fuses the beauty of traditional and modern cuisine.

Tuệ will be attending during the Friday programming of our three-day long conference, so make sure you’ve registered!

You can check out her various social media platforms here:
📌 Instagram: @twaydabae

Of all the places we can be, we’re excited to have Tuệ as our keynote speaker for this year’s NorCal Summit and we hope you’re just excited! ✨
