WELCOME
Welcome to the second annual PartnerConnect West!
We’re delighted you could join us at the beautiful Ritz Carlton at
Half Moon Bay. Whether you’re meeting privately in our ExecConnect
program, hearing a keynote speech from an industry luminary, working
on your golf game at the challenging Ocean Course, or just collecting
your thoughts while peering out to the Pacific in the hotel lounge, you’re
sure to make this time well spent with us!
This year’s event matches the format of all PartnerConnect events by
bringing you different events each focused on various alternative asset
classes.
This year we welcome delegates and speakers for Buyouts West,
Venture Alpha West, and HedgeWorld West, all under one roof. The
content at each event is curated by our editorial teams at Buyouts
Magazine, peHUB.com, Venture Capital Journal and HedgeWorld.
Many thanks to our co-host, KPMG, and all of our sponsors across
PartnerConnect West. Please take a moment to visit their areas in the
hallways and say hello!
Also, a special thanks goes out to our friends at Infovest21, who
helped with the HedgeWorld West program, and Global Corporate
Venturing, who will host Wednesday’s Triple Helix program under
the Venture Alpha West umbrella, focusing on corporate venturing,
government venturing and tech transfer at universities.
For a hand out showing all the content, please go to the registration
desk.
For those of you with ExecConnect 1:1 meetings, those are being held
in the main ballroom. Look for signage to guide you to the check-in desk.
The map on the back of this document to will help you get your
bearings. There’s plenty of staff around to help you find your way to your
session.
Thanks again for joining us for the PartnerConnect experience. We’re
glad you’re here and look forward to meeting you.
