ACM 17th Conference on Information and Knowledge Management
Napa Valley Marriott Hotel & Spa: Napa Valley, California
October 26-30, 2008
Industry Event
As a new addition to the standard program of previous editions of the
conference, the Industry Day section (separate from the
industry research track) consists of talks given by visionaries
from industry and from the VC (Venture Capital) community
located (mostly) in Silicon Valley. The talks are meant to give the conference
audience a sense of what it takes to move an idea from its initial write-up into a
trend-changing success that improves the lives of millions of people around the
world. Speakers for Industry Day are by invitation only.
