    <title>Nov 19, 2009: Social Financing - Using the Web to Mine Money for Your Venture at Sun Microsystems - Bldg 12</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Raising money from VCs is increasingly difficult for early stage companies--even ones with a good product. Social networks have been great for generating awareness but how do you turn social equity into funds for your business? Social financing is working well for entrepreneurs in developing countries and those improving the well-being of society and the environment. Could that same model work here? New models are rapidly emerging that are changing the landscape for how businesses raise money. <br /><br />
The panel, organized by GABA and SVASE will discuss these specific topics: <br /><br />
-What is social financing?<br />
-What is microfinancing?<br />
-What new tools are available today?<br />
-How companies facilitate sources of social funding<br />
-How social networks can become social financing engines<br /><br />
Panelists:<br />
Marc Dangeard, Founder, Entrepreneur Commons<br />
Joshua Sams, Co-Founder &amp; CEO, Sprowtt Marketplace<br />
Trevor Cornwell, Founder &amp; CEO, Embarkons<br />
TBD<br /><br />
Moderator:<br />
Sumaya Kazy, Sr. Social Media Manager, Sun Microsystems<br /><br />
Agenda:<br />
6:00 - 7:00 pm Registration and Networking Reception<br />
7:00 - 8:15 pm Panel Discussion and Q&amp;A<br />
8:15 - 9:00 pm Networking<br /><br />

    <title>Dec 15, 2009: Green and Clean Evening Series: How Green are You Going to Be? at Orrick, Herrington &amp; Sutcliffe LLP</title>
    <description><![CDATA[The greening of our society has been under way for well over a decade and changing our language along the way.  The rise of consumers becoming Eco-frugal or going for Eco-status by tuning into Eco-vertising leads the market and entrepreneurs to believe we&#39;ve shifted from a &#39;fad&#39; to fundamental changes to our lifestyle.  Is that true or a bunch of green washing?  The real question is whether the &#39;tipping point&#39; has been reached in the greening of the American consumer and is their purchasing behavior mirroring their new found green values.<br /><br />

    <title>Nov 17, 2009: Telecom Council Executive Forum:  Opportunities in India &amp; China at Nokia- Kirk Room</title>
    <description><![CDATA[The booming consumer markets of India and China offer untold opportunity for the right investors. But it seems that in the West, we are blinded by short-sightedness, and only try to shoehorn Western solutions into the Indian market. This meeting is intended to help the local community gain perspective on the unique nature of these markets. We&#39;ll discuss the types of devices they use, the apps that make sense, how bills are paid and mobile commerce, and what opportunities and threats are introduced by the growth of these Asian tigers.<br /><br />
Executives from the Telecom Council member companies gather every few months over lunch to discuss the needs, technologies, and trends that are affecting their businesses.
