VLAB 20th Anniversary Party
Overview June 29, 2010
Mission
VLAB is a network of human beings who make innovation happen in
Silicon Valley.
The Panels are only one part of the story.
The panel events are the most visible to our guests.
However, there are the conversations that are not immediately
visible.
Lets make the people & processes visible at the VLAB
party.
Its here that abstract ideas are voiced and relationships that
are formed.
And its only through human networking that start-ups are
created.
This is how start-ups become a reality.
How do we connect people through stories and relationships?
Documentation

do? What part did I play? How will I remember this year and all its
achievements? How did we entrepreneurially use new ways of doing
things at VLAB during 2009-2010?
20 Years of VLAB How can Volunteers Learn from 20 years of
Experience?
How can Advisors share their battle stories?
