WHY: Few segments of the global economy are undergoing more
dramatic change than the technology industry. As advances in
communications networks and processing power continue to
reduce the cost of bandwidth and computing resources, new
applications and services are being introduced at a rapid
pace. Both individuals and enterprises are experiencing
innovative new product and service offerings as distinct
areas of technology converge, and businesses that used to be
partners or collaborators are now finding themselves in
direct competition. As this innovation accelerates over the
next several years, investors will see a rise of new
markets, new companies and new investment opportunities and
challenges.

WHEN: Tuesday, November 14 through Thursday, November 16, 2006
