By Praveen Madan, Principal, A.T. Kearney & Jennifer Schoeneman, Manager, A.T. Kearney
5:00 - 7:00 p.m. Pub Talk starts at 6:00 p.m. Open to the public.

While Silicon Valley is the clear leader of the Internet industry, there are competing "cluster regions" across the United States and the World that have rapidly gained momentum as dynamic centers for Internet companies. Joint Venture: Silicon Valley Network in partnership with A.T. Kearney, Inc. has completed a study of the Global Internet industry with a focus on the competitiveness of Silicon Valley. The study reports that Silicon Valley might be reaching a turning point in its growth, and local governments are holding the keys to the future. At the Pub, come learn about the study which is based on input from more than 100 Internet executives around the nation and looks at Silicon Valley's current role in the Internet Economy and, more importantly, its role in the future.
