   Prof. Michal Kosinski, Organizational Behavior, Stanford Graduate School of

   A growing proportion of human activities such as social interactions,
   entertainment, shopping, and gathering information are now mediated by
   digital devices and services. Such digitally mediated activities produce an
   unprecedented amount of digital footprints that can be used to reveal our
   intimate traits, emotions, and predict future behavior. Given the progress in
   Artificial Intelligence and computing, we should get ready for the future
   where privacy is a privilege reserved for the few.

CONFERENCE TRAILER




TESTIMONIALS

Excellent! Great conference! Lots of People! Lot of energy! Enthusiastic!
Everything is just going so good.


Vish Mishra
Venture Director, Clearstone Venture Partners ($600M under management)

The founders of the conference are very authentic and these are people that want
to change the world and make things better for entrepreneurs and help people and
I think that’s a great thing.


George Zachary
Partner, Charles River Ventures, (Midas List, 1st investor in twitter & Yammer,
$1.4B under management)

The organizers here are doing an amazing job with selecting the people who
attend, selecting the speakers, coming up with ideas for panels and discussions.
The truly amazing side is that the audience gets bigger, more involved, active
and more thoughtful. It’s just a fun place to be!


Daniil Stolyarov
Investment Director, Almaz Capital Partners (102M under management)

The SVOD conference was a wonderful event. Networking is very important for
start-ups. The challenge for them is often not money: it is mentoring and
finding people who can give good advice from experience.


Esther Dyson
Founder, EDventure Holdings

Great conference, interesting presentations and most important, relevant
participants with concrete ideas and tremendous willingness to mentor and help
startups.


Adi Bittan
Founder & CEO, OwnerListens & Stanford MBA

It was great to present at SVOD and meet world-class entrepreneurs and
investors. Our venture was off to a fast start in the funding round after the
conference, we had an early closing to the round, and I look forward to being
part of SVOD in the future!


Alexei Dunayev
CEO &CoFounder, TranscribeMe & Stanford MBA

I love coming to the Silicon Valley Open Doors! I discover entrepreneurs here
every single year, and I think I’ve been to all of them.


Carol Sands
Founder, The Angels’ Forum

Cleary one of the very best conferences we attended and sponsored in Silicon
Valley this year. To us the conference truly captured what we see in our daily
practice, the substantial opportunities and also the challenges with
cross-border business arrangements. We made many new meaningful connections.


Lars Johansson
Partner, K&L Gates
