Annual Siebel Scholars Conference
A key element of the program is the annual Siebel Scholars Conference. Each year, current and past Scholars convene at the annual Conference to form a unique community in which knowledge, energy, and talent are shared. The Scholars, university faculty, and some of the world’s most prestigious thought-leaders gather to discuss and debate global issues, searching for solutions to today’s most pressing challenges. It is an opportunity for the future leaders in the fields of computer science and business to learn from those who currently influence the technologies, policies, and economic and social decisions that shape the future.

Famous quotes containing the words annual, scholars and/or conference:
“Every individual necessarily labours to render the annual revenue of the society as great as he can. He generally, indeed, neither intends to promote the publick interest, nor knows how much he is promoting it.... He intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention.”
—Adam Smith (1723–1790)
“Write about winter in the summer. Describe Norway as Ibsen did, from a desk in Italy; describe Dublin as James Joyce did, from a desk in Paris. Willa Cather wrote her prairie novels in New York City; Mark Twain wrote Huckleberry Finn in Hartford, Connecticut. Recently, scholars learned that Walt Whitman rarely left his room.”
—Annie Dillard (b. 1945)
“For 350 years we have been taught that reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man and writing an exact man. Football’s place is to add a patina of character, a deference to the rules and a respect for authority.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
