Compute 2008
and
HeadStart 2008

Compute 2008 and HeadStart 2008 sponsored by ACM Bangalore is a set of co-located International conferences aimed at promoting and showcasing new research and applied technology implementations.

Headstart is a showcase of most exciting products and technology in India – with a big difference. Unlike several existing showcase events that bring together VCs and Entrepreneurs together, Headstart and co-located Compute 2008 covers the entire innovation lifecycle in one place. This means participation from ALL the players in the innovation lifecycle: academicians, researchers, entrepreneurs, marketers, large companies, venture capitalists and customers, which we believe is essential to accelerate the pace of innovation in India.

The 3-day event will feature presentations of new products and research; technology tutorials; panel discussions on segments such as consumer services, mobility, enterprise applications and embedded systems. We have workshops on how to identify business opportunities, raise money, build products and effectively sell them in the marketplace.

Who should attend and why

Compute and HeadStart keynotes include Ram Shriram, one of the first investors in Google; Dr Peter Hofstee, a distinguished research from IBM Research and Dr Umeshwar Dayal from the Intelligent Enterprise Lab, HP Labs, USA. Our panels in each segment includes a number of well-known international researchers, industry leaders and venture capitalists. The workshops will be led by well-known VCs and entrepreneurs which is a great way to interact and bounce off ideas from them.

Also there would be a great set of tutorials on the state-of-art technology that will cover topics like Software services, High performance systems, Search engines, etc.

When and where

Compute and Headstart are twin events organized by ACM Bangalore/Kickstart.in at Bangalore on Jan 18-20th 2008 at the JN Tata complex, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore . This is the first event that brings together academia, entrepreneurs and industry under one roof.
