This conference, presented by the IBA North American Regional Forum, will examine new issues, trends and strategies for forming, funding, expanding and ultimately exiting from a start-up company. The programme will explore the rise of Silicon Beach, a hotbed of Southern California companies in entertainment, media and technology, among other industries. Other regions building on the original Silicon Valley model – including Boston, Toronto and Tel Aviv – will also be examined. Panels will bring together venture capitalists, private equity players, entrepreneurs, government, legal and academic experts to focus on the various stages in the life-cycle of a successful start-up, including a profitable exit for its founders and investors.
John Simpson of Corum Group will be a speaker during the “New Trends in the Venture Capital/Private Equity Industry” Session on September 18th.
