2007
NVCA Annual Meeting
April 17-18, 2007
Marriott Wardman Park Hotel
Washington, DC
The
NVCA Annual Meeting has been the leading
venture capital industry gathering for three decades where
venture capital professionals gather to discuss industry
trends, the macro economic environment, hear provocative
and interesting speakers and to network with one another.
This year’s
theme, Globalization of Innovation, is timely as many
venture capital firms are tapping into the growing entrepreneurial
communities in all domestic and international regions
including places like China, India and others in order
to maximize returns for their investors. And, there is
no better place to glean insight about the dynamics impacting
the global business environment than Washington, D.C.
Registration
for the NVCA Annual Meeting is restricted to venture capital
and private equity investors whose primary responsibility
is making/managing direct investments in growth-oriented
enterprises. NVCA reserves the right to reject registration
forms that do not meet this criterion as well as to restrict
attendance at breakout sessions that have specific eligibility
requirements.
