VentureWire's MicroVentures December 13 & 14, 2005 | Sofitel San Francisco Bay In just four years, MicroVentures has established itself as a bellwether for the dynamic chip industry. Featuring the very best up-and-coming semiconductor and nanoelectronics companies, it gives private and corporate investors, company executives, and entrepreneurs a balanced and fair view of which semiconductor-related technologies and services are ripe for investment and partnership. That's because each year MicroVentures brings together a critical mass of thought leaders you won't find anywhere else for two days of unsurpassed networking and learning. This year, be on hand as up to 80 CEOs from promising emerging companies—all handpicked and vetted by the editors of VentureWire—present their business models. Attendees of MicroVentures 2005 also benefit from a power-packed agenda consisting of several top-tier keynote presentations, in-depth panel discussions and a no-spin "From the Boardroom" panel of top VCs who review and critique the promise of presenting companies.
