Join us for the 2nd annual

SNS PREDICTIONS : WEST

NEW date & location

Eleven years after holding our first Predictions Dinner in NYC, SNS is proud to announce the 2nd annual SNS Predictions : West evening, Thursday, March 31, at the Rosewood Sand Hill Hotel in Menlo Park.

The evening will begin with a Centerpiece Conversation featuring special guest Mark Hurd, CEO of Oracle, with Mark Anderson - followed by:

A presentation and discussion with Bill Ribaudo, National Managing Partner, Technology, Media and Telecommunications Industry, Deloitte & Touche LLP, on a joint SNS / Deloitte project: "Company and Country Business Models: Impact on Valuations, Measurement, and Worth." Hear how SNS, with Deloitte's expertise, is working to redefine country GDPs in terms of national business models.

The evening will conclude with a discussion by Mark Anderson of global technology and economic landscapes in 2016, featuring the firm's recent successes in predicting the Oil Price Collapse and the China Collapse, and finishing with a discussion of the SNS Top Ten Technology and Market Predictions for 2016. There will be receptions both before and after the event.

Those who joined us last year know that this is a great evening for making new connections, socially and intellectually. We're delighted to be coming back to the Valley to talk about the future.

I hope you'll join us for this second annual SNS Predictions : West evening. You may see some familiar faces, and will surely meet new and future colleagues for the first time, in an evening of lively conversation onstage and off. You'll also come away with an invaluable tool: being that much smarter about practical issues that will affect us all, and getting a clearer view of threats and opportunities in the year to come. - mra.

Theft Nation white paper - as featured on CBS' 60 Minutes - "How IP Theft Drives the Chinese National Business Model, and Its Effect Upon the Global Economy," by Evan R. Anderson. Get the source material behind the most-viewed 60 Minutes episode in history, until now a Cabinet-level briefing book, on the world's most important information: how does China make its money, at what cost to the world, and what happens next?

 

 

Publisher's Note:  For most of us in the technology universe, things like FCC rulings, spectrum allocations, auctions and efficiency, and new advances in broadband compression and sharing are esoteric issues best handled and understood by someone else.

At this particular moment in time, as the greatest liberation of spectrum in history is about to occur, with the most heated battle over use and ownership, none of us can afford to be ignorant on the issues - nor, as this week's Special Letter author, Chet Dagit, notes, to not be involved.

Whether your firm is in content or infrastructure, tools or applications, entertainment or productivity, the topics addressed in this week's issue - and in ongoing conversations at law firms in Washington, DC, and in the Valley and in New York, and in the boardrooms of the major players - are going to lay a groundwork for communications of all kinds in the US for the next few decades.

For that reason alone, I suggest that all of our members take the time to self-educate on the problems, players, and solutions aired in this issue.  You may not amaze your friends at the next cocktail party, but you just may get that promotion during the next company strategy meeting. - mra.
