The Piper Jaffray Global Internet Summit is an annual meeting of Internet visionaries, company executives and influential investors. Participants will assess and discuss current trends in the Internet economy, winning business models, and the challenges faced as the consumer Internet matures and expands globally.
The Dynamic Internet Landscape
At our inaugural event in 2005, our focus was "Ten Years of the Internet and the Rise of a Platform." The following year, we discussed "The New Order in Internet" – new players challenging established sources of content, both online and offline. Last year, we explored the "User Revolution," – consumers, through a greater sense of consumer ownership, empowerment and viral marketing, shaping the Internet and the fortunes of Internet companies, who are "One Click Away" from success or failure.
The Internet Unplugged
Now in its fourth year, our summit continues to keep its finger on the pulse of the World Wide Web, and provides invaluable insight into what is on the horizon and beyond. Our summit theme this year is "The Internet Unplugged: Challenges and Opportunities." With the worldwide proliferation of Internet-enabled devices, the increasing global penetration of broadband and availability of wi-fi, and the coming of ubiquitous computing, where eventually everything could be part of the Web, we will examine the challenges and opportunities of an Internet that is no longer tethered to a PC. Against the backdrop of a challenging macro-economic environment, we will explore the ways in which current market leaders are adapting to the rapidly changing Internet landscape, the opportunities for newly emerging (and re-emerging) players, and the best-positioned business models for today's rapidly evolving market.
We believe the extraordinary nature of our format – created as an interactive forum to exchange ideas and listen to leading management teams, innovators and entrepreneurs – proves time and again to be timely, relevant and deeply insightful. The conference is an exclusive, invitation-only gathering, and we intend to keep participation limited to our top-tier investors and selected company executives.
Conference Format
Our invitation-only event will feature more than 75 company executives, CEOs, entrepreneurs, visionaries, venture capitalists and industry experts, along with an exclusive group of investors who will engage in various formats of discourse that will include:
- Fourteen interactive and in-depth panel discussions
- Fireside chats with Internet visionaries
- Institutional one-on-one meetings
- Networking social gatherings
- Keynote dinner sessions
