TiEcon 2009: The BOLD Entrepreneur to be held on Friday
California: TiE Silicon Valley is holding the world's largest conference on entrepreneurship - TiEcon 2009 for the BOLD Entrepreneur, on May 15th and 16th. The conference is expected to see over 4,000 participants engaging in dialogs with entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, industry executives, and thought leaders. This year's TiEcon will host the first annual showcase of 50 of the most promising startup companies across five focus segments. This year's focus segments are Consumer Web, Internet Infrastructure, Cleantech, Wireless, and Software. The 50 companies will be selected from hundreds of emerging start-ups after a rigorous screening process that includes reviews from industry experts as well as voting by the wider segment community. TiEcon 2009 will hold a premium networking session, PowerConnect, to facilitate meeting with industry experts relevant to your interests. The five focus segments for PowerConnect include Consumer Web, Internet Infrastructure, Cleantech, Wireless, and Software. Each day, PowerConnect participants will spend almost three hours over lunch with 100 other relevant entrepreneurs, industry leaders and VCs with similar background and interest in their segment area. This event will also offer four interactive bootcamps focused on key areas. Vivek Ranadive, CEO & Chairman of TIBCO is one of many industry leaders to deliver keynote at TiEcon. Ranadive will talk about what it takes to be an entrepreneur in this economy; why entrepreneurship is best solution for the economic woes we are facing, and more importantly why it is the best for one. Brad Smith, CEO of Intuit and Hans Morris, President, VISA are two other Keynote speakers on the first day.

In May 2009 issue of siliconindia magazine, Ranadive has shared his thoughts on Indian entrepreneurialism. Ranadive said "Indian entrepreneurialism has evolved from technical leadership to global business leadership in four distinct phases or, in the parlance of enterprise software, four major 'versions.' They include The Expert, The Manager, The Visionary and The Global Business Leader." Click here to read his article. https://www.siliconindia.com/magazine/articledesc.php?articleid=OLMQ203431697
