Beyond Silicon Valley is for local change makers connecting globally. You’ll meet 20 community leaders who support entrepreneurship in countries such as Iran, Kosovo, Vietnam, and Botswana. They face economic hardship, political strife, corruption or cultural aversion to risk-taking—challenges unheard of in Silicon Valley.
