eBusiness Day

Fall 2008 eBusiness Day

The keynote addresses from the eBusiness Day event that was held in the Tanner building on the campus of Brigham Young University on Friday, November 21, 2008. This biannual event is sponsored by the Rollins Center for eBusiness inside of the Marriott School of Management.

This semester's event was co-sponsored by the Silicon Slopes Initiative, an initiative to brand the Wasatch Front region of Utah as a legitimate high-tech corridor similar to Silicon Valley in California.

The panel discussions from the eBusiness Day event. Three panel discussions were addressed with three unique panels of professionals for each discussion. These discussions included (in order as they appear):

  • Does Utah's image limit Utah's high-tech corridor?
  • Does Utah get a passing grade for high-tech workforce preparation?
  • Show me the money! Is there enough capital to fund Utah's high-tech industry?
