DLA Piper Global Technology Summit to Assemble Industry Elite at Pivotal Moment for Tech

As the technology industry navigates an unprecedented financial crisis and awaits the outcome of a historic presidential election, The DLA Piper Global Technology Leaders Summit will assemble a distinguished cast of technology executives and venture capitalists who will gather to vet the most-pressing challenges, issues and opportunities confronting the industry in the current market.

Where will the next round of financing for innovative businesses come from? How will tighter controls on expenses affect growth opportunities? How will Sequoia Capital’s recent meeting with its portfolio companies affect VC investment? Can green technology innovation actually be positively affected by the current economic environment? When will the capital markets begin to stabilize and the IPO market rebound?

There couldn’t be a better time to tackle these issues. The turbulent financial markets and the unfolding policy responses by Washington and governments throughout the world directly affect the technology industry. The leaders who are open to understanding, adapting and working through these challenges will be able to maximize their market position in the months ahead. While today’s market uncertainty poses challenges, it also provides opportunities for savvy companies to gain market share and enhance organizational value.

We are very excited to be hosting the Global Technology Leaders Summit, which we will cover in real time on this blog. Add the RSS feed or e-mail us with questions. In addition, we will be unveiling the results of our Technology Leaders Forecast survey, developed in conjunction with the Summit, on Monday, October 20.
