📍 May 16, 2026 | Silicon Valley, CA | FREE for Visa Holders

If you're on an H-1B — or trying to get one — this event was built for you.

The H-1B program has undergone its most sweeping changes in decades. New fees. A new lottery. Rising RFEs. Layoffs. And a mountain of questions that most people can't afford to get answered.

On May 16, Silicon Valley's H-1B community is coming together for a free, one-day networking and educational event where you can mingle with fellow H-1B professionals, attend expert panels, and — most importantly — ask immigration attorneys from top firms your most pressing questions. For free. In person. Face to face.
