We acknowledge the generous support from the following organizations in promoting this event.

IDEOMeet the Digital Generation. Also known as Gen Y, Net Generation, and Echo Boom. And to most of us, known only as a mysterious “Youth” category. They are 10-25 year old, born 1980-1995. There are 65 million of them. That’s one in four Americans.

They’re young. And they’re wildly responsible.

These kids won’t just surprise you. They’ll impress you. And IDEO is proud to discuss our insights at the upcoming “Innovation and the Digital Generation” Forum.

Silicon Valley Innovation InstituteSVII, the Silicon Valley Innovation Institute is proud to support SJSU’s 2011 Global Innovation Forum in Silicon Valley. As SVII was founded to support “innovation advocates at all levels everywhere” by helping them “turn vision into value”, we see this pioneering Lucas Graduate School of Business forum as precisely addressing the critical path for global economic recovery. Dr. Oliver Yu and Dr. Stephan Kwan have put together a unique program focusing on “Innovation and the Digital Generation”. Clearly the large differences between these digital natives and the preceding generations digital immigrants need to be better understood in order for us all to work together in the Innovation Trenches.
