Thank you to the more than 300 attendees for making the Investors' Circle 2008 Spring Conference the best yet!  We had an amazing array of companies at the Venture Fair and the Education Day was informative and innovative.  We look forward to seeing the investments that will surely follow such a successful event. 

PROGRAM AT A GLANCE

Sunday, May 4 & MONDAY, MAY 5: PLAY BIG EVENTS

Investors’ Circle is partnering with Play BIG and Tides for a pre-conference gathering at the Investors’ Circle Spring Conference in San Francisco. Play BIG was founded by IC member and Tides partner Carol Newell with Marian Moore to encourage those with great financial capacity to Play as BIG as that capacity allows and to make bold decisions now to protect the well-being of the planet and its inhabitants for future generations. We know from experience the power of people gathered with intention. That is why we bring together forward-thinking, committed, wealthy and open-hearted people in an intimate setting to share, explore and challenge each other to realize their greatest potential.* For more information, click here.
