VENUE

The Lake House is a 5* resort and spa hotel on the banks of Canandaigua Lake

The Finger Lakes Summit is intended to build strong connections for entrepreneurs and investors in a relaxing setting, giving space to have in-depth conversations. The property’s picturesque buildings and landscaped grounds are the perfect settings to make new, lasting memories. Years 1-3 were a huge success and we’re so proud of the diversity of thought, backgrounds, gender, and ethnicity with 45% women and 50%+ from underrepresented backgrounds.
