del.icio.us bookmarks for August 20th through September 10th
These are my links for August 20th through September 10th:
- Venture Summit Silicon Valley Conference
“Venture Summit is a two-day gathering that highlights the significant economic, political and technology trends impacting the global growth investor. Venture Summit Silicon Valley features the most innovative and influential institutional investors, venture capitalists, investment bankers, research analysts, financial and technology media and corporate buyers in keynote presentations and panel debates. You can checkout last year’s amazing Venture Summit program.”
- Economist - Corporate Citizenship Conference Nov. 18-19 San Francisco

“Large merger and acquisitions deals still top the business pages, but the global outlook for M&A activity in the short term is decidedly mixed. The culprit: the aftermath of the U.S. and European sub-prime mortgage crisis and the ensuing evaporation of credit and liquidity.
The 2008 M&A Forum will examine the near-term future of M&A activity – and look out to the time when markets and liquidity stabilise.”
- Ad Age - Target Chip Chic
“For years Target’s cheap-chic reputation has made it a darling of the fashion world and a favorite among shoppers of all stripes. But now, in the face of a tough economy, its well-cultivated image is turning away consumers who believe its trendy assortments and hip marketing mean steeper prices”
