For several years Dave Berkus, our “Mr. Trend,” has shared with ABL Members – direct from CES – his insights into which technology trends are hottest.  But, this year, in keeping with the times, Dave is coupling his observations of Top Trends, with his experience as a CEO and investor, and will share why these particular trends will help the savvy entrepreneurs who apply them survive – and thrive through - the Tough Times brought on by the downshifting economy. 

In the past year, Dave has added “International Speaker” to his litany of titles, which include: Chairman of five technology companies, Board Member of five others; and Past Chairman of Tech Coast Angels.  With a portfolio of 67 technology company investments made in the past 15 years, Dave is considered among California's most prolific angel investors.  Dave was also named "Director of the Year for Early Stage Businesses" by Forum for Corporate Directors, and is an inductee in the Hospitality industry “Hall of Fame,” and Chairman of the ABL Technology Advisory Board.  

In addition to Dave's Keynote... 
Round Table discussions will follow Dave's presentation, during which participants will discuss what they anticipate the implications of these trends will be on their own business strategies.

The Event will conclude with a Networking Reception to further encourage follow-up discussions among the participants.
