Hi-Tech Israel Ctd

Early last week, the Smith team visited Jerusalem to participate in the 2010 High Tech Industry Association Conference. I covered our visit to the conference here

Our video blogger, Stephen Kushner, captured some great highlights from the conference, including two panel discussions, as well as Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu's keynote address (posted here). I've posted the two panel clips (with descriptions) after the jump.


In the first clip, Gil Sharon, President and CEO of Pelephone Communications, speaks about the challenges of being an Israeli company managing clientele around the world.



In the second clip, Yossi Vardi moderated a session on "The Role of Social Networks". The panel was composed of professionals ranging from the inventor of ICQ, one of the first instant messaging platforms, to the inventor of the "Away Message". 

This video primarily concerns the privacy content of social network platforms and the role of protecting user content once a company does an initial public offering (IPO).
