CommNexus San Diego

Globalization. For some it evokes new markets and expanded opportunities. For others it represents the loss of national infrastructure and a continued migration of jobs. What does it mean to San Diego's high tech and biotech communities?

In celebration of ten years of service to the local tech community, the Board of the San Diego Regional Technology Alliance (RTA), along with our distinguished host committee and sponsors, cordially invite you to RTA's first fundraising dinner.

Please join us for a cocktail reception, dinner and thought-provoking discussion of this 2004 hot topic. Keynote Speaker William A. Reinsch, President of the National Foreign Trade Council, and leading local industry leasders will share their insights on the impact of the global economy on emerging technology and life sciences companies. We expect a lively dialogue - the audience will be invited to debate the issues after speaker presentations.
