NewCo Silicon Valley is almost here and we have some extraordinary experiences in store for you. While many companies are filling up, we still have dozens of intimate, founder-led sessions available. Don’t miss your chance to get inside the Valley’s most interesting new businesses!

From behind-the-scene tours and demos of new technologies to happy hours, there is a huge variety waiting for you:

Women in Silicon Valley

Deborah’s Palm – Katie Ritchey, Jamileh Musa and Nil Demircubu (Founding Executives and Board Members) are examining how women source and utilize social support to survive and thrive in Silicon Valley.

Google Diversity – Join Hai Hong and Yana Yushkina (K12 Education Outreach Manager and Diversity Analyst) for a talk about “You can’t be what you can’t see.” Women and minorities are underrepresented on screen, and television often does not portray engineers in a positive light.

All About Big Data

Quantifind – In today’s always-connected, social-fueled age, corporations no longer control their reputations — consumers do. Join analytics leader Quantifind, advisor to many of the world’s largest brands, to discuss why tomorrow’s successful companies must not only invest in data, but also embrace new corporate cultures. Afterward, stick around for a happy hour where you’ll have the chance to network with other attendees and members of Quantifind’s team while discussing the future of data and marketing.

Acxiom Corporation – Better Measurement. Better Targeting. Bigger Impact. Join Acxiom’s CEO, Scott Howe, for a glimpse into the world of data onboarding. Hear how Acxiom is changing the adtech landscape by enabling connections between advertisers and consumers to increase return on ad spend, conversion rates, and sales through smarter use of marketing platforms.
