"This was one of the best events I've been to in
a few years. The combination of the audience and the featured speakers
was just right. Having six very senior executives of the top platform companies (IBM, Cisco, SAP, HP, Intel, and Oracle) moderated by
Geoffrey Moore was a great format. I heard many people say that they
could not believe the candor of the speakers. Silicon Valley Executive
Network gets the credit for not only selecting the right companies, but for
getting the right people at these companies, who would be willing to step out
of the normal "party line" behavior that you see at much larger events.
The intimacy of the venue and size of the conference allowed all of us to visit
with whomever we wished, for as long as need."

Our Events:

most common events are single day golf outings at very premium/private
golf location with 20-28 executives, including a 90 minute interactive
business/technology discussion before or after golf, and ample time to
socialize and network with peer level executives

locations such as Pebble Beach and Cordevalle or multi-day golf trips
to premium resort locations such as Bandon Dunes, Scottsdale, Lake
Tahoe, and more
- We
also have special non-golf events hosted
by various technology firms such as Cisco, Oracle, Intel, HP, Google, IBM, SAP, Adobe,
and related entities...we are typically invited by senior executives of
the hosting company for mutually beneficial behind-the-scenes
interactive discussions on a variety of broad reaching themes.
