Recap: VentureForth's 4th Annual Entrepreneur Conference

Thank you everyone who attended this event. It was a great time listening to great speakers on a variety of subjects and meeting new people who share the same interests. Dr. Irwin Jacobs was a great speaker on how his entrepreneurial spirit was the driving force of Qualcomm and helped create a wireless technology cluster here in San Diego. The finance panel was one of the best panels, mainly because, the panelists are good friends with one another. Unfortunately, the finance panel does not have video, because the tech guys could not get it to work. Ingrid Vanderveldt was also another great speaker by giving hope and taking a chance of your dreams. She is such a nice person and she gave a wonderful speech. I was the chair for the Web 2.0 panel, which I thought was a great success as well. Everything went smoothly and Paul Kedrosky is the expert and has done tons of panels on this subject. I was not able to attend the engineering or media, but I will be watching them on our conference website www.ventureforth.com/conferences/econf through Real Player. The VentureForth team did a great job putting everything together and making it a successful conference.
