Golf Venue:

Mayacama Golf Club (#66 on Golf Digest Top 100 Courses)

Special Note: Mayacama is completely closed for our event on July-22nd, so the Silicon Valley Executive Network will be the only people on the golf course, which will add to the privacy for our experience. Mayacama is a spectacular private club in the wine country, a Jack Nickalus design with breathtaking views, and is very difficult to get access, even with reciprocation rights, so take advantage of our group's ability to have the course to ourselves this day.

Speaker Bio & Topic Info:

Jeff Nolan (VP of Business Development & SaaS) leads NewsGator's Software-as-a-Service business, business development activities, and strategic relationships. Jeff was previously the CEO of pioneering mashup company Teqlo and prior to that led SAP's Apollo strategy group. Jeff served as a general partner at SAP Ventures for almost a decade where he led investments in internet infrastructure technology, open source, and what has become web 2.0. With a lifelong interest in technology and its impact on business and society, the Bay Area native has a technical background and a natural curiosity about far too many areas to list

Jeff will explore some of the major and minor trends that are driving the software business today, the least of which is the blurring of the line between consumer and business applications that is driving every aspect of business application software from how applications are designed to how they are priced and sold. The elephant in the room is the emergence of the social dimension in applications determining not only the next hot categories of software and venture investment but the emergence of an entirely new platform stack and new players driving platforms. While Google could easily have been predicted a Microsoft competitor, who would have thought that Amazon would emerge as a potent threat? The generational shift is also informing the next generation workplace as Millennials demand not only new messaging technologies and rich mobile apps but also turn upside down the notions of what a business exists to do, which is not only generate profit but also provide socially aware and environmental workplaces.
Format Everyone will play their own ball, which is normal for all of our events. We will have a group prize for the foursome with the best net 1-ball score, as well as closest to pin prizes broken down by flights.
