“First to Print: Priming Early Adoption in Additive Manufacturing”

Speaker: Samantha Snabes, Co-founder and Catalyst – re:3D

In this conversation, we will explore observations re:3D has collected while facilitating global adoption of 3D printers through new user adoption. re:3D’s personal

successes & lessons learned in crowdfunding, product improvement, and big brand sales will be highlighted as well as insights garnered from the broader additive

manufacturing community. Anyone with questions or who is considering how to generate and sustain repeatable demand for a novel technology is encouraged to attend.

“Leading IEEE Forward”

Speaker: Wanda Reder, Chief Strategy Officer – S&C Electric Company, IEEE Fellow

Emberson Award RecipientAfter joining S&C Electric in 2004 as Vice President of Power Systems Services, Wanda Reder grew the service business, expanding field service and project-related work globally.

 

The Origins of Silicon Valley: Why and How It Happened”

Speaker: Paul Wesling, IEEE Distinguished Speaker & Life Fellow

As technological innovation spreads to new centers around the world, we can look to “Silicon Valley” for inspiration. Going back to the early 20th century, Paul

Wesling shows how new management practices along with entrepreneurial approaches set the stage for dominance of world-wide technology. In this talk, we learn

from the early pioneers and new inventions that set the stage for technology management and device development that continue to contribute to SV success — and can

inform localized methods and approaches in other tech centers, and which affect your careers.

“The Origins of Silicon Valley: Why and How It Happened”

Paul Wesling, Stanford ’66 (BSEE) and ’68 (MS-MatSci),  IEEE Life Fellow, retired from Tandem

•Computers/Hewlett Packard. •Why did Silicon Valley come into being? The story goes back to local Hams (amateur •radio operators) trying to break RCA’s tube patents, the sinking of the Titanic, Naval ship •communications requirements, early “angel” investments, Fred Terman and Stanford •University, local invention of high-power tubes (gammatron, klystron), WW II and radar, •William Shockley’s mother living in Palo Alto, and the SF Bay Area infrastructure that •developed — these factors pretty much determined that the semiconductor and IC •industries would be located in the Santa Clara Valley.
