CVCA 2008 Conference: Succeeding in the Face of Change

….And, now on to Part 2 of our 3 part video cast series of the very eventful and highly successful 2008 CVCA annual conference. In addition to Day 1’s rich array of topics, Day 2 looked at how investors will get their edge in the evolving market, growth opportunities in the cleantech sector, and fund raising challenges and opportunities for vc’s and private equity players alike.

You can click on the PLAY button on today’s video cast to see highlights from Day 2’s panelists’ discussions, an interview with this year’s organizing committee’s chairman, Chris Arsenault of iNovia Capital, and a chat with conference participant, Grant Kook of Golden Opportunities.

But, if you missed Part 1 featuring a recap of this captivating conference as well as discussions with the CVCA’s president, Rick Nathan  and conference participants Jevon MacDonald (Startup North and Firestoker), John McIntyre (Birch Hill Equity Partners) and William Woods (CNQ, Canada’s NEW stock exchange), you can catch it all by clicking here.

Come back later this week for Part 3. You’ll see why you could literally hear a pin drop when keynote speaker, Roger McNamee of Elevation Partners had the stage!

This year’s conference left many participants revved up and looking forward to next year’s event. Look out for more details to come about it at the CVCA site. It’s slated for Spring 2009 in booming Calgary, Canada. Hoping to see you there!
