Silicon Valley Comes to Oxford 2015: Union Debate
The 14th annual Silicon Valley Comes to Oxford will take place at Saïd Business School on Sunday 17 May 2015.

Silicon Valley Comes to Oxford 2015 will provide an opportunity to hear prominent entrepreneurs, innovators and investors discuss and debate key issues in entrepreneurship and innovation. The interactive sessions will focus on the benefits and challenges of starting and scaling high-growth companies as well as offering a unique insight into an entrepreneurs world – the issues and topics they are really passionate about, their failures as well as hard won successes and how it really is possible to change the rules of the game.

Silicon Valley Comes to Oxford 2015 will also explore the critical and transformative subtopic of ‘Augmented Humanity’ – the next stage of our relationship with technology as augmented devices revolutionise our lives, enhancing our senses, improving our productivity and even changing the face of medical technology and healthcare.

Join us for this dynamic event that defines what it takes to start, scale and run high growth companies.
