    "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."

      About Us


    Summary:

    Using unique events and private venues, Silicon Valley Executive Network (SVEN) is a private Human Network providing a forum for thought leadership around emerging technologies in a relaxed environment, while concurrently enabling business development and relationships for senior high-tech executives, venture capitalists, and key technologists who make up the core DNA of the tech ecosystem.

    What & Who We Are:

    • A private, invitation-only organization
    • We currently have 200+ executives in our group...and growing organically
    • Our member profile is the core DNA of the tech ecosystem:
      • CxO/VP level high tech corporate execs with extensive executive-level business & technology domain expertise from public & venture backed companies in core roles such as Engineering, Product Mktg, Sales, Business Development, etc.
      • Although our our core members are mostly traditional IT/Tech, we are branching out and expanding our membership to HealthTech/Biotech, Cleantech, and Digital Media & Entertainment
      • Venture capitalists (IT, Healthcare/Bio, Cleantech, Digital Media & Entertainment)
      • Private tech focused Investors/Angels
      • Key technologists
      • Successful tech focused serial entrepreneurs
    • Our members are also typically avid golfers who enjoy using premium golf for business networking and business development
    • We understand premium golf, have significant connections at the various private and resort venues, and the value of bringing premium golf and high level business and technology people together
    Our Goals:
    • Enable the creation of new business relationships, and enhance existing ones by cross pollenating the core elements of the tech ecosystem through premium golf experiences and various exclusive corporate technology & business discussions
    • Enable information sharing of deep domain expertise by harnessing the intellectual capital among members around key areas of business and technology topics
    • Link opportunities within the core elements of the group (Tech execs, venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, and technology companies)
    • Be a "connector" and "accelerator" for our members and strategic partners
    Our Events:
    • 14-16 events are on our "Executive Tour" for 2010, comprised of the following:
      1. Our 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
      2. We do a small number of overnight golf trips to 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
      3. 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.
      4. We hold an annual tech summit with a variety of discussions of relevance to the technology ecosystem.
