RAISING THE BAR IN AN ERA OF INNOVATION!
We all know venture capital is rooted in the spirit of investing in opportunity. The U.S. has always been a dominant force in fostering world innovation and Silicon Valley's position of being the heartbeat of entrepreneurship remains true. However, in recent years, technology disruption and globalization have challenged venture capital's greatest skill: transforming ideas into marketable and lucrative products. Further, America has been acutely conscious of a changing world, as economic crashes and educational concerns linger. Global standards are rising and with America's growing anxiety, pressure has increased for the VC community to continue superior performance and maintain competitive edge. Now, more than ever, the spotlight is on innovation - front and center, loud and clear. This is an unprecedented time for the VC community, and together as a whole, the industry must address venture investments and methods to ensure a continued growth trajectory for promising young companies. For over 22 years, IBF's Venture Capital Investing Conference has been the premier gathering for both investor groups - VCs and LPs - to connect and address investing opportunities and strategies; pressing issues and critical realities facing the industry.

AUDIENCE PROFILE
Over 300 venture capitalists, institutional investors, private equity investors, investment and commercial bankers, family offices, chief executive officers, pension plans, endowment and foundation investment officers, corporate investors, plan sponsors, and new business development executives attend annually.
