CEO Summit 2004For leaders of Highland-backed companies, there is tremendous value in breaking away from day-to-day operations to focus on the critical aspects of company building in a more structured environment. Our CEO Summits deliver a compelling forum for frank dialogue and advice from the best in the business. In addition to our CEOs and founders, we also include members of our Customer Advisory Network, Highland Entrepreneurs’ Fund, and other industry leaders and experts at these events.
CEO Summit 2004 was held at The Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia from September 29 - October 1, 2004. Over 100 attendees convened to exchange new ideas and insights, share best practices, discuss challenges, and debate strategies and tactics - all with the underlying theme of building successful and sustainable companies. We hosted a variety of guest speakers including Dr. Eric Lander (The Broad Institute), David Yoffie (Harvard Business School), Nancy Peretsman (Allen & Company), Tom Stemberg (Staples) and Pete Kight (CheckFree). ![]() |
“I felt that this conference was definitely amongst the best I have attended, if not the best. The agenda was jam packed with one great session after another and the caliber of presenters was second to none.”
Mike Perrault Simpler Networks “I know how difficult it is to put these together and it was flawless. Everyone I spoke to commented on the quality of the sessions and enjoyment of the meetings. You have made Highland stand out among the VC firms I deal with.” Ed Kennedy Ocular Networks |
