The Summit: Connect to Success
Participate During: February 5-6, 2026
Tradition Challenge: Attend The Summit: Connect to Success and hear how BYU alumni turned their own hard climbs into success.
Alumni Who've Summited Their Mountains
Each winter, BYU Student Alumni hosts Connect to Success, a two-day, TED-style conference where accomplished alumni share the real story behind their success: the setbacks, the hard choices, and the lessons that came from climbing their own mountains. Past speakers have included New York Times bestselling authors, Fortune 500 executives, Olympians, and even the co-creator of Fortnite, all BYU graduates, all willing to talk honestly about the climb.
Beyond the stories, Connect to Success is a chance to ask questions, win prizes, and build real connections with the kind of alumni network that can open doors for years to come. It's proof that being Connected For Good isn't just a motto, it's what happens when students and alumni connect.
