Celebrate the minds of today creating solutions for tomorrow!
Join us on Monday, April 20, 2026 from 6:00 - 9:00 pm at The City Club, San Francisco, an art deco jewel in the heart of the financial district.
Supernova is ARCS Foundation Northern California Chapter’s major annual event supporting the ARCS mission to advance science by celebrating ARCS Scholars as emerging scientists, raising the visibility of their cutting-edge research, and providing them with public speaking opportunities.
Guests will enjoy a buffet celebration with passed hors d'oeuvres, hearty finger foods, and a selection of wines, while mingling with scholars, ARCS members and friends. Curious minds will enjoy engaging with scholars and their research during the poster sessions, two Ted talks, and a roundtable discussion on AI. Participation in our Talk-to-a-Scholar Raffle (prizes awarded!) is encouraged.
The 74 ARCS Scholars for the current academic year are US citizens selected from 100 departments at our seven partner universities: San Francisco State University, Stanford University, and the University of California campuses at Berkeley, Davis, Merced, San Francisco, and Santa Cruz.
