Seventh Annual
Global Technology Symposium
Disruptive Technologies for the Economic Recovery
March 24-26, 2010
Arrillaga Alumni Center | Stanford University
2010 has arrived, and with it comes the Seventh Annual Global Technology Symposium, to be held on March 24-26, 2010, at the Arrillaga Alumni Center on the Stanford campus.
Join us for the premier investment conference on technology, venture capital, and growth companies in emerging markets.
JOIN A WORLD-CLASS NETWORK
Today, the only clear boundaries between countries are lines on maps.
New technologies are leveling the competitive playing field between industrialized and developing countries by encouraging the spread of knowledge, ideas, capital, and labor across international borders. The next big idea may come from Boston or Brussels, Beijing or Bangalore. Smart companies across the globe need to learn how to leverage these trends.
The Global Technology Symposium brings over 300 selected international leaders in business, finance, technology, and policymaking to the Stanford campus in Palo Alto, California, birthplace of innovation in Silicon Valley. There, they share insights into how entrepreneurs and blue-chip companies alike can seize the opportunities of globalization.
This year’s Symposium features a keynote address by Craig Barrett, former chairman and CEO of Intel.
Speakers in previous years include venture capitalists Brook Byers, Patricia Cloherty, Tim Draper, Pitch Johnson, Heidi Rozen, Don Valentine, and Ann Winblad; political figures such as former U.S. senator Gary Hart, former Secretary of Defense William Perry; former Secretary of State George Shultz, and Russian Minister of Education and Science Andrei Fursenko; management and technology gurus such as Vint Cerf, Esther Dyson, and Geoffrey Moore; and corporate leaders such as BP Capital founder T. Boone Pickens, former HP CEO Carly Fiorina, and VMware CEO Diane Greene.
We invite you to join an exclusive network of Silicon Valley’s opinion leaders who will drive technology-led growth in the years ahead.
