AlwaysOn Stanford Summit

The Stanford Summit is a two-and-a-half-day executive gathering that highlights the significant economic, political and commercial trends affecting the global technology industries. The Stanford Summit features the most innovative companies, eminent technologists, influential investors and journalists in keynote presentations, panel debates and private company CEO showcases.

The Stanford Summit's goal is to identify the most promising entrepreneurial opportunities and investments in the global tech industry. At previous Summits, we hosted the founders of great companies such as Google, Salesforce.com, Skype and YouTube while they were still private. Our program also includes the participation of CEOs of the most innovative public companies including, Cisco, Nokia, HP, Sun, IBM, Qualcomm, Motorola, DreamWorks, Microsoft and Sony, and top VC firms, such as Kleiner Perkins, DFJ, Sequoia Capital and Mayfield Fund.

The AlwaysOn 100 Top Private Companies are honored at the Summit. Fifty of the top CEOs from the AO 100 pitch their market strategies to a panel of industry experts in our "CEO Showcase."

More than a thousand technology, media and entertainment CEOs, business development officers, venture capital and private-equity investors, and leading members of the press and blogging community attend the Stanford Summit. Over 20,000 webcast viewers from over 100 countries tune in and interact with the program.

Executives and educators attend the Stanford Summit to identify and debate emerging trends, build high-level relationships and create new business opportunities.
