BILL GATES IN CONVERSATION WITH STANFORD PRESIDENT JOHN HENNESSY

Featuring:William H. (Bill) Gates Chairman and Chief Software Architect of Microsoft Corporation

Program Highlights:
  • Prototypes of new devices that will change the ways we learn and communicate.
  • The web services dream and future of e-commerce.
  • The critical need for research--what we've learned, and what's on the horizon.

    In this lively and informative presentation, Bill Gates gives you his perspective on where technology is going from where it is today. Expanding on his belief that we're still "really just at the beginning," he shares his goals for the current decade-advances in networking and application interactivity; increases in reliability and ease of use; and improvements in productivity, as information sharing becomes more and more efficient.

    During a candid question and answer session fielded by John Hennessy, Gates responds to issues ranging from privacy to security concerns; and from intellectual property protection to current limitations on broadband access.

    COMPETITIVENESS AND THE FUTURE OF THE HIGH-TECH INDUSTRY

    Featuring: Betty Baker

    The US high-tech industry faces considerable challenges today in spite of a recent upswing in jobs and exports. Betty Baker presents statistics that detail the failure of our education system to meet current demands for highly skilled workers, especially those with the critical thinking skills of math and science. She also pinpoints government policies that put us at a disadvantage in global trade and R&D, while affirming her belief that concerted action now can reverse negative trends and help put the US economy back on track.

    DESIGNING INTERACTIONS: DEVELOPING NEW WAYS OF WORKING

    Featuring:Bill Moggridge, Principal and Founder, IDEO

    Highlights:
  • Film clips of ground-breaking innovators, including the creators of Google, I-mode, and the Sims.
  • The humble beginnings of today's nearly universal components. (Why the mouse?)
  • The role of metaphor in market acceptance of new designs.

    From the perspective of consumers, what matters most with any new product? The way it behaves. Does the design work? Is it beautiful? Is it intuitive? Is it fun? In the long run, users don't want to think about the product itself-they want to think about what they want to do with it. Successful designs require an interdisciplinary approach that not only evaluates technology but also considers the quality of the user experience. Bill Moggridge, a pioneer in the field of interaction design, explains the importance of combining the science of research with the aesthetics of design.

    DOING THE DEALS

    Featuring:Jonathan Hart, Partner, Dow, Lohnes and Albertson, PLLC

    Managing a website involves signing off on a host of legal questions, from who owns the underlying code to what happens if you forget to run a partner's banner ad.

    How should you structure these relationships? Attorney Jon Hart outlines what you need to consider when you are "Doing the Deals."

    Highlights:
  • The two dimensions of contracts--coming to terms vs. allocation of risks
  • Outsourcing your website construction - do you need to own the design?
  • Agency vs. independent contractor status
  • Term sheets vs. letters of intent
  • The importance of keeping options open
  • Specific requirements for advertising contracts

    Jon advises us that, when all is said and done, good contracts are not designed to win litigation, but to avoid it.

    DRIVING TRAFFIC TO YOUR WEBSITE

    Featuring: Ulla McGee, General Manager

    Ulla McGee sets theory aside, and explains what has actually worked and not worked for driving traffic to her company's site. Ulla focuses on five approaches.

    Email marketing - providing double-opt-in, easy unsubscribe, an up-front privacy policy, and most important: meaningful content.

    Buying keywords on search engines - the benefits (and two pitfalls) of using Google and Overture.

    Offline communications - the least expensive traffic builder to date for PCWorld.

    Barter deals - the art of identifying complementary sites.

    Content deals - why branding opportunities can be worthless.

    Whether your site's purpose is to sell products or market your firm, Ulla's real-world experience will provide useful guidance in your own Web marketing efforts.
