Next Generation Tech: Teens Plugged In!
Wednesday May 23, 2007 from 8:30am - 2:00pm
Hewlett-Packard
3000 Hanover Street
Palo Alto, California 94304 Get Directions
Come join us in this teen-driven event, where we invite teens to share their insights into their "always connected" way of life.

Teens are using technology to communicate like no generation before them - mobile text messaging, IM, MySpace pages, video cell phones and online video games, etc.... Technology permeates their lives and their interests drive innovation in a significant way. According to the Harrison Group Study on What Teens Want, in 2006 American teens spent over $195 billion and a large portion of it was on technology.

At the same time, in addition to spending money on technology, teens are emerging as innovators in the industry as well. These young entrepreneurs are changing our world-using fresh tech-savvy ideas to create new businesses and garnering the attention of investors in the process.

How are teens impacting the way technology is developed? How are these technologies scaling into businesses? And what about the teens themselves- are they creating companies? Who's investing in their firms and how to choose the winners? How will these digital natives assimilate into the work environment and how will they change it? These are just some of the questions that will be addressed during this exceptional program.

Who Should Attend:

Teens
Investors
Entrepreneurs, Business Strategists, Product Managers
For everyone else it would be a great time and a chance to learn first hand from the teens themselves how they are driving the tech industry and the firms who are investing in them.
