Overview

Axiom Capital management, Inc. and Scott Livingston invite you to join America’s investment and corporate leaders to discuss nanotechnology over the next year and beyond.

This year’s conference will bring together blue chip corporations, promising startups and leading investors to discuss investment and business trends in nanotechnology. Attendees can expect to make valuable business connections by talking directly with the key leaders in each field and learn how nanotechnology may have a disruptive impact on many industries including infrastructure, cleantech, consumer electronics, healthcare, energy and real estate.

Panels have been organized to address key challenges. Attendees will learn how nanotechnology based products are continuing to solve key issues confronting business and individuals in their daily lives. Panel topics include:

Repairing and Rebuilding our Infrastructure - The need to upgrade bridges, roads and tunnels, the need for society to embrace energy efficiency, the need to insure that all airports, seaports and borders are secure, and the use of nanotechnology in cement, steel, windows, and construction materials to make them stronger, cheaper and cleaner.
Protecting Imports and Fighting Counterfeits - The foreign made products being recalled regularly due to safety concerns. Counterfeit products crossing the borders daily, affecting drugs, intellectual property and even money supply.
Addressing and Mitigating Environmental Damag (Cleantech) - How green manufacturing, solar and alternative energies, environmental remediation and other applications are being enabled by rapid advances at the nanoscale. How nanotechnology is assisting the ‘green revolution’.
Personalized Medicine - How nanotechnology is used to detect, treat and diagnose diseases and ailments earlier and more effectively such as RNA interference, tissue engineering, drug delivery and other parts of the healthcare field.
Defense/Homeland Security - How aerospace and defense companies have been actively working in nanotechnology for years, and the development of products for homeland security, mobile soldiers, space exploration, including lighter and more fuel efficient transportation.

There will be breakout sessions for investors to meet CEOs and senior executives from public and private companies to learn more about them and their businesses.

The morning keynote will be given by Dr. Bernard S. Meyerson, vice president for Strategic Alliance and chief technologist, IBM Systems and Technology Group. Dr. Meyerson became chief technologist of IBM's Technology Group in 2001, and in 2003, he assumed operational responsibility for IBM's Semiconductor Technology Research and Development as head of the SRDC (Semiconductor Research and Development Center). In that role he led the world's largest semiconductor development consortium, members of which include Sony, Toshiba, AMD, Samsung, Chartered Semiconductor, and Infineon. In December 2005, he was appointed to the position of vice president of Strategic Alliances and CTO of IBM's System Technology Group.

The lunch keynote will be given by Paul Dickerson, Chief Operating Officer of the Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE). With its $1.47 billion budget, EERE invests in a diverse portfolio of energy technologies to provide efficient, clean and renewable energy leading toward a stronger economy, a cleaner environment, and greater energy independence for America.

The dessert keynote will be given by Bruce Sohn, President of First Solar, Inc. Mr. Sohn joined First Solar in March 2007 as President. Mr. Sohn was formerly a senior executive at Intel Corporation and has served on the Board of Directors of First Solar since 2003. First Solar, Inc. (First Solar) designs and manufactures solar modules using a thin film semiconductor technology. First Solar has made the Promise of Thin Film a Reality and has become one of the fastest growing manufacturers of solar modules in the world.

The Afternoon Keynote will be given by Dr. Henry Kelly, President of the Federation of American Scientists. Dr. Kelly has held this position since July 2001. Prior to joining the FAS, Dr. Kelly spent more than seven years as Assistant Director for Technology in the Office of Science and Technology in the White House. There he helped negotiate and implement administration research partnerships in energy and the environment, information technology, and learning technology. These partnerships included new automobile and truck technology, housing technology, bioprocessing technology, and information technology. Before his tenure at the White House, he was a senior associate at the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment; assistant director for the Solar Energy Research Institute; and worked on the staff of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. He is the author of numerous books and articles on issues in science and technology policy.

Attendees can meet and interact with decision makers from America’s largest companies, CEOs of leading public and private growth companies, portfolio managers and analysts from top public and private investment institutions, and other key decision makers and influential members of the nanotechnology community.
