Innovation CONNECT Technology Day & Networking Program - September 26th 2017
We are holding our 7th annual Innovation CONNECT Technology Day & Networking Program this September at the Quadrus Conference Center in Menlo Park on Tuesday, September 26th.
This program provides a highly efficient, customized forum that enables leading companies to see the most relevant technologies and companies funded by VCs and angels. The companies you meet with are certain to be appropriate to your interests, because you select them in advance from a pre-screened candidate list which is prepared based upon your stated needs and interests.
The program works like this. Prior to the event, we gather 'problem statements' from CIOs, CTOs and other senior executives, then amalgamate them and present them to Venture Capital firms. The VCs submit these 'problems' to their portfolio companies with solutions to address these 'problems'. On September (day to be determined), we hold a half-day session of 2 minute presentations from the portfolio companies and speed dating (10 minute meetings with up to 10 companies) between corporate and startup executives.
Companies that have participated in this program in the past include, Abbott Labs, AOL, AT&T, Bayer, Cisco, Citicorp, CSFB, Disney, Dreamworks, Facebook, Fox, GE, Google, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Intel, Lenovo, Lucent, MCI, Merck, Motorola, NBCUniversal, Netflix, Pfizer, Philips, Rambus, Sony, Sunoco, Televisa, Time Warner, Toshiba, Tribute Entertainment, Viacom and Yahoo!
Among the VCs that have participated are August Capital, Bessemer, Foundation, Greylock, KPCB, Lightspeed, Norwest, Matrix, Sigma and Sutter Hill.
Attendance at this event is invitation-only. If you serve in a senior IT role and are interested in attending, please contact us.
