About Me2We

Me2We is the flagship annual event for the Stanford community to meet and learn from each other. Me2We is open exclusively to Eligible Participants (as defined later in this document).

Me2We is organized by a committee composed of volunteers from the LEAD Community. A new committee is appointed annually to run each annual event. In 2025, Me2We will take place in March 2025 (“Me2We 2025”). Me2We 2025 will be the 10th annual Me2We event; it will be organized by the Me2We 2025 committee (the “Committee”).

The Committee is running the operations of Me2We under the umbrella of the Me2We non-profit (the “Me2We non-profit”, “we”, “us”, “our”), incorporated in California in September 2024 as a non-profit public benefit corporation. The Me2We non-profit is in the process of seeking 501(c)3 status.

If a Transfer Window opens, it will occur in January 2025 and close on January 31, 2025, at 1:00pm Pacific Time. Therefore, no transfers will be considered after this deadline.

Please note that the opening of a Transfer Window is not guaranteed and remains at the sole discretion of the Committee. Please note that purchasing a ticket without a confirmed ability to attend is at your own risk, as transfer opportunities are not guaranteed.
