The conference theme for 2011 is the Impact of Innovation. We will be exploring every aspect and consequence of innovation in our business and social endeavours and we expect to attract an elite group of senior business executives from many of the world’s most successful companies, who will gather to hear and meet with innovative leaders from both Bay Area and global businesses.

The panelists and keynote speakers will capture the components that breed innovation, from strategies for funding new ideas, finding human talent – both academic and industrial, to the tenacity of true entrepreneurs and the role of various service industries needed to build and foster innovation, including law, finance and marketing.

San Francisco and the Bay Area boasts more than its fair share of innovative new businesses and is home to a dynamic, technology based economy spearheading the IT, biotech and clean technology sectors. As a world-class destination city and the gateway to Silicon Valley’s technology and innovation, San Francisco is the perfect location to gather together key champions and exponents of Innovation, and have them share with delegates ways to forge innovative practices within their organizations.

The conference will focus on The Impact of Innovation within a number of sectors on both sides of the Atlantic, including:
• Technology – Aerospace, IT, Defence.
