Silicon Valley Comes to Oxford

It is that time of the year. Well, it is Silicon Valley Comes to Oxford (SVCO) time and most of us are pretty excited to be part of the event. The list of Silicon Czars gracing Oxford include Reid Hoffman and Biz Stone. The focus will be on inspiring business minds to just do it, to be an entreprenuer in the wild-wild silicon valley. Today the top technology companies are sitting on a combined cash pile of $200 billion dollars. In our Marketing class when we talk about top brands, at least three in any ranking are technology brands. So, I think it is understandable that the event is generating so much excitement.

At the same time, the end of this month is going to a heavy one with umpteen assignments due around the same time. And if you think there is going to be peace after that, the exams are not too far. The good news is that exams end on 16th December, and there shall be ample opportunity to laze and party after that in the cold British winter. But till then we roll!
