Alternative Investing Summit
Dec-07-2008 to Dec-09-2008  -  Dana Point, California, United States
The label “alternative” describes a nebulous investment class to many investors, especially those in the institutional world who have strict ethical and fiduciary obligations to their organizations. However, pursuing alternative investment is essential to maximizing returns while maintaining proper asset allocation in plan portfolios of endowments, foundations, family offices, and public and corporate funds. The Alternative Investment Summit will bring together trustees and representatives of institutions as well as money managers and consultants to explore the roles of alternative opportunities and strategies in an educational environment. Participants and delegates will investigate a range of critical investment issues, including discussion of the risks and benefits involving private equity, investigating the risks and rewards involved with hedge funds, examining means of cutting costs associated with implementation of absolute returns strategies, reviewing the future of commodities, and surveying the landscape of emerging international markets.

California San Diego

DEMOfall 08
Sep-07-2008 to Sep-09-2008  -  San Diego, California, United States
DEMO is *the* launchpad event for emerging technology products, where the 70 best new ideas in technology get their start and rocket to national – and international – attention. Count on DEMO to introduce you to revolutionary innovations from all sectors of the technology landscape—consumer, enterprise, hardware, software, Web 2.0, infrastructure, etc. – It is your a complete view of not only where technology comes from, but exactly where it’s going.
DEMO is a product conference showcasing innovations from companies old and new with working technologies for measurable market spaces. It’s the un-tradeshow. Unlike other industry events, this conference provides attendees enough time to see every product on an even playing field with little marketing spin.

It’s the event that launched technologies such as VMware, the Palm Pilot, Java 1.0, TiVo, IronPort Systems, WebEx, Half.com, salesforce.com, Ugobe's Pleo, Six Apart's Moveable Type, eJamming, and many more.
DEMO takes a global view of the tech industry and features technologies from around the world. The crux of the conference is the six-minute demonstration -- NOT a six-minute PowerPoint, discussion or promise. No vaporware allowed. All products must be shown live on stage and all features must be working.
It's not a mixer or a meetup. DEMO is about business acceleration. It's less about the who's who and more about the what's what. Companies attend DEMO for the business advantages that will push them into the next phase of company growth, acquiring customers and partners as well as funding.
