The humorous New Yorker poster showing Silicon Valley as an isolated island disconnected from the rest of the world has long since been a thing of the past. The Valley and global economies are inextricably intertwined. Some of the Valley's most thoughtful business leaders and a foremost expert on world economic and social issues will engage in a lively discussion from two views - Valley and global - and will explore the ongoing relevancy of Silicon Valley as a major innovation powerhouse and economic engine on the world stage.
