Our Learning expeditions in San Francisco & Silicon Valley, Napa & Sonoma Valleys, Los Angeles and Orange counties cities are immersive experiences designed to witness the forces that shape tomorrow, so company executives or university students can project themselves into the future.

Through a customized program designed by FACC California, we connect business communities to understand challenges and opportunities, and help navigate cultural differences. We coordinate site visits and arrange one-on-one meetings, as well as networking events with key industry leaders.

By opening minds and shifting perspectives, our learning expeditions expose students to the best innovation or inspire management teams and C-level executives, and help them in their transformation journey and innovation strategy.
