TechAmerica CFO Forum: Shifting Gears – Balancing the CFO’s Role in an Economic Uptick
Heathman Hotel

After spending the last year on defense, companies must be able to quickly shift gears and get back on offense - how quickly and what are the tripping-points for spending?

Special guests, Scott Gibson, Chairman of the Board, RadiSys Corporation and Brian Bronson, Chief Financial Officer, RadiSys Corporation will share how they are altering plans to take advantage of the economic uptick.

Discussion Points:

  • Dealing with pressure from the Board to stay ahead and be ready to EMERGE NOW
  • How to emerge responsibly without spending too much (for private companies - risking your opportunity to be an IPO candidate)
  • What to spend money on - hiring, marketing, development
  • How to manage your team - employee retention, moral
  • Strategic Planning with uncertainty What expectations does the Board currently hold for the CFO

CFO Forum: Investor Rights with David Nierenberg
Morton's Steakhouse

Investor Rights with David Nierenberg Comments from a skeptical practitioner in the real world of corporate governance and performance

Please join your peers for a dinner and forum discussion on Thursday, March 10, 2011 at Morton’s Steakhouse where we will discuss Investor Rights with our special guest, David Nierenberg. David is founder and President of Nierenberg Investment Management Company. The company invests in a concentrated portfolio of undervalued public micro-cap companies, where they build large ownership stakes and work collaboratively with management teams and boards to help close the gap between the companies’ market and intrinsic value.

David will talk candidly about his experiences as a significant shareholder. He will discuss proxy advisory services which presume to tell you what good corporate governance is. Should you do what they recommend or should you do something else to maximize stakeholder value?

Please join us for this interesting and timely discussion on investor’s rights.

About the Program: Last fall Moody’s lowered its economic outlook for 2012 citing political wrangling over the U.S. debt ceiling and debt crisis in Europe. Unemployment and underemployment continue to plague the economy and impact capital markets. Yet, some trends are turning positive. What is the outlook for 2012 how does it influence corporate spending and appetite for capital markets?

Panelist: - Mike Millman, Managing Director, JP Morgan Capital Equity Markets, Technology, Media, and Telecom Equity Sector - Randall Hopkins, Senior Vice President, NASDAQ Capital Markets Open Market Exchange - Joe Morgan, Chief Investment Officer, Silicon Valley Bank Event will be moderated by Jeff DeBoer, Managing Director, University of Oregon, Finance and Securities Analysis Center

Some of the issues to be explored: • The US economy finished 2011 on a strong note. Jobs, spending, confidence, even industrial output all reflected an economy with some momentum. Can it continue in the first half of 2012 and beyond? • What principal themes are guiding market returns in 2012 and beyond? • Are banks lending again? How should companies raise capital? Is the IPO market back? • How should technology investors and companies plan for 2012?
