Systemic market challenges, the aftermath of the financial crisis and an unprecedented number of policy threats have propelled the venture capital industry to a critical juncture. Nevertheless, venture capitalists are experts in finding opportunities amidst turmoil and change.

With a refreshing format that features more keynote speakers and fire-side chats, the 2010 NVCA Annual Meeting will explore the critical issues that will define the future of venture capital:

• Challenging Fundraising Environment
• Changing Composition of the Venture Industry
• Weak Exit Markets and Proactive Strategy for Improvement
• Unrelenting Threat of Regulation, Taxation and Other Policy Reforms
• Changing Mix of Investment Opportunities
• Acquisitions – Which Corporations Will Be Leading The Recovery?
• Leveraging R&D Spending and Government Support of Emerging Technologies

A vibrant venture capital industry in the future is dependent on our industry's response to our current challenges.  Attending the NVCA Annual Meeting is a critical step towards a brighter outlook and allows the industry to collectively discuss the most compelling solutions and strategies.

Every venture capitalist’s involvement is paramount and we encourage all NVCA member firms to send multiple representatives (a group discount is available).
