A renowned keynote speaker! Great VC networking! Two concurrent industry panels -- Life Science and Technology!
The San Diego Venture Group is proud to present our Sixth Annual "Venture Summit" on June 12 at the new Hard Rock Hotel in downtown San Diego. We've retained the "super-sized" format of the past two years to give you all the great VC networking and cutting-edge industry news you've come to expect. Mark your calendars and register today for this must-attend event!
The keynote breakfast speaker is noted futurist Mark Anderson, CEO of Strategic News Service (SNS). SNS's subscription-based Internet newsletter is read by Bill Gates, Michael Dell, Mark Hurd, and industry leaders and investors in computing and communications worldwide. Mark is also founding chair of the Future in Review® (FiRe) Conference, which The Economist has labeled "the best technology conference in the world." Best known for his accurate forecasts of important technology market shifts, Mark has extensive experience with, and insight into, the worlds of both IT and Healthcare.
Following the breakfast keynote, we'll convene for a 20-minute 'power networking' coffee break. Mix and mingle with over 100+ VCs from the Silicon Valley and beyond. Our Venture Summit is believed to be the largest gathering of venture capitalists under one roof in Southern California. Prepare to shake hands!
After the networking break, choose between either a Life Science panel or a Technology panel for the next hour (see below for details). No matter which industry topic you choose, you'll be treated to the stellar insights of some true business luminaries.

LIFE SCIENCE PANEL:
A "Fireside Chat" with Dr. Herbert Boyer, co-founder of Genentech.
The founding of Genentech in 1976 led to the creation of an industry which now encompasses more than 1,700 companies in the U.S. alone. In a rare "fireside chat", Dr. Boyer will discuss the founding of the industry, its growth and what he sees as the future of biotechnology.
TECHNOLOGY PANEL:
"The Potential Impact of the Microsoft/Yahoo deal"
How will it change the competitive landscape, and what does it mean for venture-backed Web 2.0 companies? Moderator Jim Armstrong of Clearstone Ventures will talk with lead investment banking analyst Mark Mahaney of Citigroup and lead industry analyst Karsten Weide of IDC.
