Panel: Tech Deal Makers: Step into the World of Venture Capital
Terrance Philips•Duncan Turner•Nisa Leung•Rishaad Salamat

The U.S. and China may be clear leaders in the world of Venture Capital, but the way investments are conducted in each country can be very different. That’s important, because VCs and startups have a largely symbiotic relationship: VCs provide the fuel and a guiding star for many aspiring and innovative startups, some of which have the potential to transform all of our lives. So, what is the recipe for success for VC investments? And the billion-dollar question, will the U.S. or China remain at the epicenter of the next wave of VC activity in the tech sector?

Not to be Missed: The Rewards and Pitfalls of Big data
Anthony Scriffignano•Miles Wen•Neil Pabari•Shai Oster

The world is experiencing technological breakthroughs and innovations at an hard-to-comprehend speed and which have fundamentally changed our lives, the way we communicate and how we do business. The volume at which new data is being generated is staggering. The application of big data analytics – understanding the mass of data and converting it into relevant, collective, actionable intelligence – offers great potential to improve everyday lives. However, the frontline in the evolution of data – in common with those of other new technologies – poses problems and challenges to governance and administration. What can we do to prepare for such potentially tremendous changes?
