“Silicon Valley 101†– a multi-lecture introductory event providing conference participants with analyses of key features, history and current developments of Silicon Valley. This will be a unique opportunity to hear and discuss the perspectives of distinguished Silicon Valley scholars and practitioners from different professional backgrounds on the region’s stellar innovation ecosystem. Participants in this event will receive a Certificate of Attendance.
An Oxford-style debate on the motion: “This house believes that Silicon Valley is a relevant innovation model for other regions in the world†. The motion will be defended by Professors Stephen Adams (Salisbury University, US) and Eoin O’Neill (Trinity College Dublin, Ireland) and opposed by Prof. Margaret Pugh O’Mara (University of Washington, US) and Paul Van Dun (K.U.Leuven Research & Development, Belgium).
The Welcome Reception will start with a musical overture performed by the Saint Michael Trio, a highly acclaimed virtuoso group of musicians with thriving careers in Silicon Valley’s high tech sector. This will be followed by a open-air buffet and tasting of Californian wines, a live performance by Opera San Jose artists and dance to the tunes of a live music band.
At the Gala Dinner, we will enjoy the company of Judy Estrin, networking technology pioneer and Silicon Valley leader, who, as the after-dinner speaker, will talk about «Sustainable Innovation» and her recent book Closing the Innovation Gap: Reigniting the Spark of Creativity in a Global Economy. We will also have a roaring good time to the tunes of the Silicon Gulch Jazz Band, whose performance of Charleston, New Orleans Blues or just Dixieland syncopation is a celebration in itself.
