One key aspect to product success has been – and will continue to be – finding the right drug to bring into development\, as up to 85% of new synthetic chemical compounds fail to reach the market. Traditionally\, drug candidates have been vetted using a process called high-throughput screening (HTS)\, where thousands of drug candidates are evaluated through their reactivity with specific biological targets. The hit rate of HTS\, however\, can be quite low\, with some estimates at significantly less than 0.01 percent. \nNew Generative AI promises to transform drug discovery through new approaches to identifying drug candidates. By leveraging recent innovations in AI\, companies have mined databases to discover new drug-target interactions or design novel compounds. These revolutionary advances are accelerating the development of treatments for cancers and other complex diseases\, improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs. For both startups and established companies\, this represents an unprecedented opportunity to reshape the future of drug development. \nNew Featuring pharmaceutical executives\, biotech entrepreneurs\, and AI innovators\, our event panel will explore whether AI is truly a breakthrough in drug discovery\, and how it can address long-standing challenges in the industry. \n\nWhat are the key approaches to using Generative AI to invent new drug candidates?\nWhat challenges and limitations remain in AI-driven drug discovery?\nHow can startups navigate FDA evaluation of AI-driven drug discovery approaches?\nHow are pharmaceutical companies and startups collaborating to accelerate AI-driven innovation around drug discoveries?\n\nNew Join us on March 20 to peer into the future of drug discovery. \n \n \n \n \n \n \nBuy Tickets on Eventbrite\n\nPurchase Tickets\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Moderator \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n AaronArvey\nHead of Computational Discovery\, Third Rock Ventures\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n LinkedIn\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Panelist \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n PetrinaKamya\nVice President & Global Head of AI Platforms\, Insilico Medicine\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n LinkedIn\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Panelist \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n VenkateshMysore\nChief Technology Officer and Co-Founder\, Aikium\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n LinkedIn\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Panelist \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n DavidSolow-Cordero\nAssociate Director\, High Throughput Screening Knowledge Center & Innovative Medicine Accelerator (IMA)\, Stanford University\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n LinkedIn\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Panelist \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n LuWang\nInvestment Director\, Foothill Ventures\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n LinkedIn\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n SVB Experience Center\n532 Market Street\nSan Francisco\, CA 94104 \n \n \n \n \n \n Ticket Includes Food and Drink \n \n \n \n \n \n View or download flyer for event: \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Download printable PDF. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n View Page on Eventbrite\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Special Thanks to Our Event Sponsors URL:https://cc-housing.com/event/future-of-drug-discovery/ LOCATION:SVB Experience Center\, 532 Market Street\, San Francisco\, CA\, 94104\, United States CATEGORIES:VLAB Panel ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cc-housing.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Future-of-Drug-Discovery.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20231205T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20231205T203000 DTSTAMP:20260613T033350 CREATED:20250219T094204Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250227T081718Z UID:16051-1701799200-1701808200@cc-housing.com SUMMARY:Fully Homomorphic Encryption: Is FHE the Holy Grail for Security? DESCRIPTION:Fully Homomorphic Encryption\nIs FHE the Holy Grail for Security?\n \n \n \n \n \n Tuesday\, December 5\, 2023 \n6:00 pm to 8:30 pm\n6:00 pm: Reception and networking\n7:00 pm: Panel discussion (with Q&A) \n \n \n \n \n \n Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE)\, widely recognized as one the most secure encryption methods in cryptography\, has recently seen major breakthroughs that could unlock FHE’s true potential. \nFHE is a powerful cryptographic algorithm that allows trusted parties to work with encrypted data without the need of first decrypting the data. This means that organizations can view\, process\, and analyze data without compromising the security of that data. This capability could solve key problems and create new opportunities across a wide range of applications\, such as healthcare\, finance\, artificial intelligence (AI)\, and other industries that manage highly sensitive data. \nEven though the first feasible FHE scheme was proposed back in 2009\, the ability to deploy FHE effectively has been limited by the processing power of existing hardware. Now in its fourth generation\, recent advances in both software and hardware have triggered a new race among R&D centers and startups to apply FHE architecture to cloud services and other applications. \nUsing FHE to protect data in virtual environments could unlock billions of dollars in business potential in data privacy-challenged applications. Other encryption methods — such as secure-enclaves\, or zero-knowledge proof — simply cannot provide the same level of security and flexibility as FHE. \nIn our upcoming VLAB panel discussion\, thought leaders\, founders\, and investors will discuss the latest developments in FHE: \n\nWhich players are leading the race to be the first to provide FHE solutions?\nWhat are the potential risks and challenges associated with FHE?\nDoes FHE truly have the potential to be the holy grail of encryption?\n\nJoin us on December 5 to learn more about FHE. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Moderator\n \n \n \n \n \n Brett Hartman\, Lecturer\, California Polytechnic State University \n \n \n \n \n \n Panelists\n \n \n \n \n \n Jorge Myszne\, Chief Product Officer\, Niobium Microsystems \nMache Creeger\, Vice President Business Development\, Cornami \nEric Ball\, Founding General Partner\, Impact Venture Capital \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Los Altos Community Center\n97 Hillview Avenue\nLos Altos\, CA 94022 URL:https://cc-housing.com/event/fully-homomorphic-encryption-is-fhe-the-holy-grail-for-security/ LOCATION:Los Altos Community Center\, 97 Hillview Avenue\, Los Altos\, 94022\, United States CATEGORIES:VLAB Panel ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cc-housing.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/VLAB-FHE.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20221115T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20221115T203000 DTSTAMP:20260613T033350 CREATED:20250221T093157Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250222T054325Z UID:16358-1668535200-1668544200@cc-housing.com SUMMARY:Accelerating through the Turn: Which Electric Cars Will Get the Checkered Flag? DESCRIPTION:Accelerating through the Turn\nWhich Electric Cars Will Get the Checkered Flag?\n \n \n \n \n \n Tuesday\, November 15\, 2022\n6:00 pm to 8:00 pm\n(Pacific time) \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n It is no secret that the global automotive landscape is undergoing a monumental transformation from internal combustion engines (ICEs) to engines using alternative\, carbon-friendly fuel sources. Perhaps the most well-known of these new automobile designs is the battery-powered electric vehicle (BEV). BEVs are being chosen to drive the future (pun intended) for several key reasons. BEVs typically have better fuel economy and lower fuel costs than ICE vehicles\, and their reduced carbon emissions can help achieve global sustainability goals. \nThe demand among consumers for BEVs continues to accelerate\, and governments have jumped on the bandwagon\, adopting new measures to reduce or eliminate the production of gas-powered vehicles. These market-shifting developments have ignited both established manufacturers and startups\, and industry leaders are placing huge bets on an all-electric future. With over 1 billion cars on the road today\, the stakes are enormous. \nUnderstandably\, these massive numbers have attracted massive amounts of capital\, and companies are scrambling to take the pole position and adopt a “BEV-first” mentality. For example\, Stellantis has invested a staggering $35 billion in the BEV space\, and Ford has invested $20 billion to facilitate the BEV transition in its product line. Large deployments of capital can also be seen on even small BEV startups\, and the transportation sector has become the fourth-largest investment sector among VCs. \nIn our upcoming VLAB panel discussion\, thought leaders\, founders\, and investors will discuss the key challenges and opportunities in the BEV space and whether legacy automakers will be quick and nimble enough to keep up with or overtake the BEV startups.\n \n\nWhat are the key challenges faced by BEV startups and incumbents?\nWhat new incentives are governments providing to help accelerate BEV adoption?\nWhich companies have the inside track in the BEV race?\n\nJoin us on November 15 to find out. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Moderators\n \n \n \n \n \n John McElroy\, Host\, Autoline Daily \nSandy Munro\, Chief Executive Officer\, Munro & Associates \n \n \n \n \n \n Panelists\n \n \n \n \n \n Chris Anthony\, Chief Executive Officer\, Aptera \nVolker Kaeser\, Chief Technology Officer\, Indigotech \nAlexei Andreev\, Managing Director\, Autotech Ventures\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Free Online Event \n \n \n \n \n \n \nA Note about Ticket Sales \n\n\nWe understand that many people may be having a rough time during the COVID-19 pandemic.

DESCRIPTION:Robotic Process Automation\nA “Magic Switch” for Enterprises?\n \n \n \n \n \n Wednesday\, September 29\, 2021\n6:00 pm to 8:00 pm \n \n \n \n \n \n The digital transformation of enterprises across the globe has been a key driver of innovation in recent years\, fundamentally changing the way a company operates and delivers value to its customers. As enterprises continue to explore new ways to integrate digital technology into every aspect of their business\, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is poised to accelerate this transformation even further. RPA is one of the fastest-growing segments of the global enterprise software market\, with the RPA market expected to reach ≈$2 billion in 2021 and an expected CAGR of ≈32% until 2028. \nSimply put\, RPA uses software-based “robots” to automate business tasks and processes. By analyzing data from a wide spectrum of sources\, RPA tools gather the intelligence needed to process a transaction\, trigger responses\, and communicate with other digital systems. Tasks executed by RPA may be as simple as filling in forms or as complex as integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) tools to perform cognitive processes. \nThe ability to complete these tasks automatically has several substantial benefits for enterprises\, from significantly reducing operating costs to minimizing or even eliminating human error. Moreover\, RPA systems are designed to be enterprise-ready. They’re easy to deploy (using a low-code development platform) and extremely scalable. For most installations\, there is no disruption to underlying systems and minimal upfront investment. The return on investment (ROI) for implementing RPA is both immense and immediate. \nIn our upcoming VLAB panel discussion\, thought leaders\, founders\, and investors will explore how businesses and entrepreneurs can take advantage of the oncoming RPA wave. \n\nWhat are the challenges of enterprise-wide deployment of RPA?\nWhich industry sectors are poised to be disrupted by RPA? Which will benefit?\nWhat threats does RPA pose to the human workforce in the next 5 years?\n\nJoin us on September 29 to find out. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Moderator\n \n \n \n \n \n Pascal Bornet\, Member and Contributor\, Forbes Technology Council \n \n \n \n \n \n Panelists\n \n \n \n \n \n Dmitry Karpov\, Founder\, ElectroNeek Robotics \nBabu Sivadasan\, Chairman and CEO\, Jiffy.ai \nPrince Kohli\, CTO\, Automation Anywhere \nJosh Shirazi\, Principal Investor\, Alkeon Capital Management \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Free Online Event \n \n \n \n \n \n \nA Note about Ticket Sales \n\n\nWe understand that many people may be having a rough time during the COVID-19 pandemic.

As population growth\, urbanization\, and climate change reshape the farming landscape — both figuratively and literally — traditional farming is facing new and increasing challenges. Extended droughts\, record-breaking cold\, floods\, and wildfires have resulted in tens of billions of dollars in crop losses across the country and around the globe. An estimated 90% of crop losses in the United States are caused by extreme weather (source: U.S. Department of Agriculture). \nMoreover\, the distance over which crops must be transported typically exacerbates farming’s carbon footprint\, and there is growing demand for easy and affordable access to fresh and nutritious produce in regions and neighborhoods that historically have been underserved. \nTaking farming indoors may provide a solution for these and myriad other issues. Recent advances have created a confluence of technologies that extend indoor farming far beyond conventional greenhouses. From environmental controls\, energy-efficient lighting systems\, and robotics to genetics\, AI-based crop management\, and automated harvesting\, both small startups and large agribusiness enterprises are exploring ways to maximize indoor crop yields\, enhance product quality\, and promote hyper-local production and distribution. \nIn our upcoming VLAB panel discussion\, industry experts and entrepreneurs will discuss the opportunities and the challenges associated with controlled environment farming — and help “separate the wheat from the chaff.” \n\nTo what extent will current greenhouse and field growers be disrupted?\nWhich technologies and business models have the greatest potential to make an impact?\nAre we ready to bet the farm on indoor AgTech?\n\nJoin us on May 27 to find out. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Moderator\n \n \n \n \n \n Gene Giacomelli\, Professor\, Biosystems Engineering Department\, University of Arizona \n \n \n \n \n \n Panelists\n \n \n \n \n \n Sam Bertram\, CEO\, OnePointOne \nSam Schatz\, Managing Director & Global Head of Farm Development\, AeroFarms \nMarta Baptista\, Global Director of Strategic Research and Technology Adoption\, Driscoll’s Berries \nMichael Rose\, Partner\, Better Food Ventures \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Free Online Event \n \n \n \n \n \n \nA Note about Ticket Sales \n\n\nWe understand that many people may be having a rough time during the COVID-19 pandemic.

DESCRIPTION:Eliminating Passwords\nDoes Abolishing the Password Create Stronger Security?\n \n \n \n \n \n Tuesday\, February 16\, 2021\n6:00 pm to 8:00 pm \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Passwords are a source of endless frustration — for both users and organizations. According to Verizon’s Data Breach Investigation Report\, 81% of data breaches are caused by compromised\, weak\, and reused passwords. They often lead to employee downtime and abandoned shopping carts. In today’s networked economy\, passwords may no longer be a suitable tool for protecting access. \nMoreover\, password issues can have a huge financial impact on businesses\, as a result of recovering from data breaches\, employee downtime\, and rebuilding corporate reputations. In 2020\, cybercrime cost the global economy $2.9M every minute. Even regular maintenance itself is extremely expensive\, with most enterprises spending more than $1M per year just to reset passwords. And the problem is getting worse. Data breaches have both a significant short-term impact — with an average cost of $8.9M per breach — and long-term consequences\, as billions of login credentials from these breaches are circulated across the dark web. \nFortunately\, help is on the way. Several startups are working on new solutions that could eliminate the need for passwords by replacing them with simpler and stronger forms of authentication\, often leveraging physical security keys and biometrics. These new authentication technologies have the potential to completely transform digital security. \nIn our upcoming VLAB panel discussion\, industry experts and entrepreneurs will discuss the future of password-less authentication and how companies can build it into their security plans. \n\nWhat are the current in-market solutions and how effective are they?\nHow can companies successfully transition to password-less authentication?\nWhat are the opportunities for entrepreneurs and technologists?\n\nJoin us on February 16 to find out. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Moderator\n \n \n \n \n \n Andrew Shikiar\, Executive Director & CMO\, FIDO Alliance \n \n \n \n \n \n Panelists\n \n \n \n \n \n Ori Eisen\, Founder & CEO\, Trusona \nStina Ehrensvärd\, CEO & Co-founder\, Yubico \nCandace Worley\, CPO\, Ping Identity \nAsheem Chandna\, Partner\, Greylock Partners \n \n \n \n \n \n Check out these videos from our event partners: \nTrusona \nYubico\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Free Online Event \n \n \n \n \n \n \nA Note about Ticket Sales \n\n\nWe understand that many people may be having a rough time during the COVID-19 pandemic.

DESCRIPTION:Carbon-Friendly Concrete\nCan We “Build” Our Way Out of the Climate Crisis?\n \n \n \n \n \n Tuesday\, October 27\, 2020\n6:00 pm to 8:00 pm \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Record-breaking temperatures. Millions of acres engulfed in wildfires. Storms that are stronger and more frequent than at any time in recorded history. The effects of the rise in greenhouse gasses in our atmosphere seem to be more devastating every year. \nWhile many of the major contributors to the climate crisis are familiar to most of us — automobiles\, power plants\, factories\, agriculture\, etc. — there is one source that may surprise you: concrete. With the explosion of construction in developing and developed countries around the globe\, the production of concrete accounts for approximately 7% of annual carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. \nAs the demand for more construction globally continues unabated\, the world is building the equivalent of twelve New York Citys every year!

DESCRIPTION:Telehealth Hypergrowth\nWill Virtual House Calls Replace Office Visits?\n \n \n \n \n \n Thursday\, October 1\, 2020\n6:00 pm to 8:00 pm \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Using technology to deliver health care from a distance has been available for decades. In recent years\, telehealth usage has steadily increased\, and many large medical groups today offer telehealth services. A growing number of both physicians and patients are satisfied with their telehealth experience and enjoy the convenience and efficiency resulting from removing the need to travel to a doctor’s office. However\, despite its many advantages\, telehealth has been slow to catch on\, partly due to barriers involving regulations and licensing issues. \nWith the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic\, telehealth is suddenly understood to be the safest way to see patients. This realization has been accompanied by the accelerated innovation and adoption of new telehealth technologies\, and the U.S. government has eased regulations regarding reimbursement and licensing. As a result\, the use of video visits has surged dramatically. For example\, the average number of weekly telehealth visits for non-HMO Medicare patients increased from about 13\,000 pre-pandemic to nearly 1.7 million in the last week of April 2020. \nAs a result\, interest in telehealth technology has understandably surged among entrepreneurs and investors. Digital health has quickly become one of the most heavily invested sectors in the startup community\, with telehealth being the number one top-funded category. Is telehealth here to stay or will the excitement dissipate when the pandemic ends? In this online event\, our panel of entrepreneurs\, investors\, and health professionals will discuss the realities\, roadmaps\, and future potential of telehealth. \n\nWhat are the biggest barriers to expanding the adoption of telehealth services?\nHow can telehealth startups gain a competitive advantage over existing platforms?\nHow can extending telehealth services to underserved areas help reduce health disparities?\n\nJoin us on October 1 to find out. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Moderator\n \n \n \n \n \n Jack Higgins\, MD – President & Chief Medical Officer\, Global Telehealth Network \n \n \n \n \n \n Panelists\n \n \n \n \n \n Brad Younggren\, MD – Chief Medical Officer\, 98point6 \n Albert Chan\, MD – Chief of Digital Patient Experience\, Sutter Health \nAlpa Sanghavi\, MD – Chief Quality and Patient Experience Officer\, San Mateo Medical Center \n Sunny Kumar\, MD – Partner\, GSR Ventures \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Free Online Event \n \n \n \n \n \n \nA Note about Ticket Sales \n\n\nWe understand that many people may be having a rough time during the COVID-19 pandemic.

DESCRIPTION:The Future of Privacy\nWill Cryptography and Secure Computation Protect Us?\n \n \n \n \n \n Thursday\, August 27\, 2020\n6:00 pm to 8:00 pm \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n It is hard to argue with the statement that “data is the new oil.” Unfortunately\, the ever-expanding collection of data from social networks\, smartphones\, and IoT devices has created an alarming trend. Every month\, it seems\, there is another huge data breach somewhere in the cyberworld\, and people are understandably concerned about how well — or even if — their online privacy is being protected. The current pandemic has accelerated the growing demand for sharing health-care data and highlighted the need for digital contact tracing. When exacerbated by the questionable behavior of some online services\, this has all simply added fuel to the fire. \nBoth governments and private companies have been trying to assuage these fears. Governments have passed new laws and regulations\, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). And emerging technologies\, including secure multiparty computation (MPC)\, Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE)\, and zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP) are attempting to put stronger protection in place. But is this enough? \nIn this VLAB event\, a panel of experts in cryptography\, privacy\, and security — including trailblazing startups\, Internet giants like Google\, and VCs focused on this field — will discuss the role of cryptography and secure computation and examine the impact that these technologies could have on protecting privacy. \n\nCan companies effectively balance the desire for data and the needs of consumers?\nWill new technologies be strong enough to provide proper protection?\nHow can entrepreneurs leverage this opportunity?\n\nJoin us on August 27 to find out. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Moderator\n \n \n \n \n \n Patrick Lincoln\, Director of Computer Science Lab\, SRI \n \n \n \n \n \n Panelists\n \n \n \n \n \n Kurt Rohloff\, Co-founder and CTO\, Duality Technologies \nVishwanath Raman\, Product and Engineering\, Oasis Labs \nMoti Yung\, Research Scientist\, Google; Adjunct Research Professor\, Columbia University \nChenxi Wang\, Managing General Partner\, Rain Capital \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Free Online Event \n \n \n \n \n \n \nA Note about Ticket Sales \n\n\nWe understand that many people may be having a rough time during the COVID-19 pandemic.

DESCRIPTION:Digital Contact Tracing\nBlazing a Trail Back to Normal?\n \n \n \n \n \n Thursday\, July 23\, 2020\n6:00 pm to 8:00 pm \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n As people around the world deal with the COVID-19 pandemic\, everyone everywhere is asking one simple question: when will it end? A key component to answering this all-important question stems from having a more complete understanding of how the disease spreads. This is where contact tracing can play a huge role. \nJust about everyone today has a mobile phone\, so it makes sense to try to track the movement of these phones to understand the spread of COVID-19. The level of international collaboration is unprecedented\, involving governments\, health organizations\, universities\, and private companies. Silicon Valley giants like Google and Apple are leading efforts to develop a shared API that will automatically collect location data on mobile devices. The implications of knowing every person with whom any person has had contact are both enormously beneficial and enormously scary at the same time\, but if it works\, this contact tracing data could help provide a path back to normal. \nUnderstandably\, venture capital firms and startups are working hard (remotely\, of course) to incorporate these APIs into existing and emerging apps — and to explore new opportunities in this space. Our panel will discuss the impact of universal adoption of this technology and several related hot-button issues\, such as: \n\nWhat mechanisms are needed to ensure that this location data is not misused?\nWill people be willing to sacrifice some privacy to help stop the pandemic?\nHow will companies and organizations be able to use this data once the crisis has ended?\n\nJoin us for our interactive online event on July 23 as we explore digital contact tracing together. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Moderator\n \n \n \n \n \n Thomas C.

By some accounts\, people have relied on the specialized knowledge of the legal industry for over 6\,000 years. And everything is about to change. Recent technological and regulatory developments are poised to transform our access to legal expertise in radically new ways. How lawyers and startups adapt to these changes will significantly alter the landscape of a $300B industry. \nAs new digital services supplant traditional legal services\, law firms will no longer need to hire huge teams to get the information they need. In theory\, this will allow smaller firms to compete more effectively\, increasing access and decreasing costs. When the cost of hiring a lawyer is calculated by the minute\, the financial savings could be huge. \nAdditionally\, regulatory changes could shift the distribution of revenue and profit substantially across the entire industry. For example\, states such as California and Utah are exploring new rules that would allow legal firms to sell “shares” of ownership to non-attorneys\, creating new opportunities for the savvy investor. \nThis expanded access to information\, to services\, and to capital has the potential to improve legal services and generate significant value. \n\nWhat will lawyers need to do to survive in this changing landscape?\nWill “live” attorneys be replaced by legal robots?\nWill these changes lead to greater competition?\n\nJoin us on October 24 to find out. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Moderator\n \n \n \n \n \n Drew Amerson\, Director of LexLab\, UC Hastings \n \n \n \n \n \n Panelists\n \n \n \n \n \n Patrick Barry\, COO\, Logikcull \nAmélie-Sophie Vavrovsky\, Co-Founder & CEO\, Formally \nDavid Wang\, Corporate Strategic Innovation Counsel\, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati \nDan Jansen\, CEO and Managing Director\, NextLaw Ventures \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n View or download flyer for event: \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Download the printable PDF. \n \n \n \n \n \n Stanford Faculty Club\nStanford University\n439 Lagunita Drive\nStanford\, CA 94305\nDriving directions and parking information URL:https://cc-housing.com/event/automated-attorneys/ LOCATION:Stanford Faculty Club\, Stanford University\, 439 Lagunita Drive\, Stanford\, CA\, 94305\, United States CATEGORIES:VLAB Panel ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cc-housing.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Automated-Attorneys.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190605T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190605T203000 DTSTAMP:20260613T033351 CREATED:20190220T075758Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250222T201203Z UID:14974-1559757600-1559766600@cc-housing.com SUMMARY:Outdoor AR: Who Wants to Come Out to Play?

When executed well\, AR adds contextual information and deepens people’s understanding of “reality” by overlaying 3D/2D computer graphics onto videos and display screens. Many experts are predicting an AR boom in the next 5 years over a wide range of applications\, including entertainment\, education\, manufacturing\, healthcare\, retail\, and travel\, among others. \nOf these many potential uses\, outdoor AR is an emerging sector that opens up new possibilities for location-based services. Adding a new digital layer on top of the existing world\, outdoor AR will forever change the way we interact with information and open up new ways to transform our surrounding environment. The only limits are our imagination. \nWhile the potential for outdoor AR is huge\, it requires new infrastructure. Both startups and big corporations are racing to develop new mapping techniques to position graphics in the real world. Some players are betting on generating content through crowdsourcing\, while others still prefer a “walled garden” approach to retain full control over data. \n\nWhich approach is going to be the most competitive in the long term?\nWhat will it take to witness the power of AR at scale?\nWhat precautions need to be taken to address privacy concerns?\n\nJoin us on June 5 to find out. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Moderator\n \n \n \n \n \n Avi Bar-Zeev\, Designer and Architect\, Reality Prime \n \n \n \n \n \n Panelists\n \n \n \n \n \n Matt Miesnieks\, CEO and Co-Founder\, 6D.ai \nAnjney Midha\, Co-Founder and CEO\, Ubiquity6 \nRachel Inman\, Staff UX Designer – Google Maps AR\, Google \nPeter Rojas\, Founding Partner\, Betaworks Ventures \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n View or download flyer for event: \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Download the printable PDF. \n \n \n \n \n \n Cubberley Auditorium\nEducation Building\nStanford University\n485 Lasuen Mall\nStanford\, CA 94305\nDriving directions and parking information URL:https://cc-housing.com/event/outdoor-ar/ LOCATION:Cubberley Auditorium\, Stanford University\, 485 Lasuen Mall\, Stanford\, CA\, 94305\, United States CATEGORIES:VLAB Panel ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cc-housing.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Outdoor-AR-Dragon.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190409T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190409T203000 DTSTAMP:20260613T033351 CREATED:20190220T075758Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250222T201125Z UID:15080-1554832800-1554841800@cc-housing.com SUMMARY:Zero-Trust Cybersecurity: Trust No One?

With this explosion of information availability\, the potential for data breaches continues to grow exponentially. \nCybersecurity today must extend beyond simply protecting on-premises data. With the ever-increasing desire to access applications from any network\, from anywhere\, cybersecurity must also safeguard the data traversing among cloud applications\, data centers\, and end-point devices. The cost of failing to do so is potentially huge. According to a recent study sponsored by IBM\, the average cost of a single data breach is over $3 million. \nTo neutralize these risks\, one new approach that has been gaining momentum is the “zero-trust” model. Originally conceived by Forrester\, major corporations like Google have adopted various forms of zero-trust cybersecurity. If implemented properly\, zero-trust has the power to transform the industry. \n\nIs zero-trust security destined to become mainstream?\nWill a micro-segmentation security strategy offer enough protection?\nWhat are the advantages and disadvantages of not trusting anyone by default?\n\nJoin us on April 9 to find out. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Moderator\n \n \n \n \n \n Randy Wood\, VP\, Public Sector\, Akamai Technologies \n \n \n \n \n \n Panelists\n \n \n \n \n \n Amir Sharif\, Co-Founder\, Aporeto \nAndrew Rubin\, CEO and Co-Founder\, Illumio \nPere Monclus VP and CTO Networking and Security BU VMware \nDeepak Jeevankumar Managing Director Dell Technologies Capital \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n View or download flyer for event: \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Download the printable event flyer. \n \n \n \n \n \n Hauck Auditorium\nDavid and Joan Traitel Building\n435 Lasuen Mall\nStanford\, CA 94305 URL:https://cc-housing.com/event/zero-trust-cybersecurity/ LOCATION:Stanford University: Hauck Auditorium\, David and Joan Traitel Building\, 435 Lasuen Mall\, Stanford\, CA\, 94305\, United States CATEGORIES:VLAB Panel ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cc-housing.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Cyber-Security.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190226T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190226T203000 DTSTAMP:20260613T033351 CREATED:20190220T075758Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250222T201044Z UID:15078-1551204000-1551213000@cc-housing.com SUMMARY:Breakthroughs in Diabetes: Real Progress or Just More of the Same?
