At the Milken Institute’s 21st Global Conference, the strongest minds in business, government, technology, philanthropy, academia, and media will examine these challenges to find actionable, collaborative solutions to some of the most important questions of our time.


Navigating a World in Transition

A global transformation is underway, disrupting traditional social and economic foundations and heralding an era of rapid change and challenge. Shifting political tides, emerging demographic trends, and relentless leaps in technology are bellwethers of a world in transition. 
These developments promise longer and healthier lives, broader prosperity, and, possibly, a more just society. To realize their potential, we must address the downsides of change: rising income inequality, uneven access to health care, diminishing financial security, polarization, and geopolitical uncertainty.

Event Registration

Much has been said regarding the timing of investing in factor-based strategies. In addition to understanding the underlying assumptions of these funds it's critical to know what's driving returns and will these tilts work going forward. Are these strategies for long-term investors only or can they be utilized as a tactical play as well? 
​
Atthe 2016 Investing in Smart Beta conference you will have the opportunity to hear from two leading experts as they discuss the pros & cons of single factor vs. multi-factor strategies and when they should be used.
Factor Investing And Its Difference From Other Approaches To Smart Beta
Smart beta’s critics have frequently contended that it’s little more than a variation of factor tilting. Yet in recent years, leading investment companies have introduced a host of vehicles based on a variety of factors, including quality, value, momentum, low volatility and size that contribute to different levels of risk and return for investors. This session will analyze the theory behind these products and compare holding a broad smart beta strategy versus implementing a do-it-yourself approach that blends factor ETFs together.

Recurring Revenue Conference Welcomes Leading CEOs, Investors and Financial Experts at Skirball Cultural Center February 23

Picture
Event Registration

How do you make it difficult for your competitors to take away customers while also making it undesirable for your customers to switch their business? Today a growing number of companies are engaging recurring revenue business models. Those who want to learn more are invited to attend the Recurring Revenue Conference  on Wednesday, February 23, 2016 at Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles. The event featuring CEOs, venture capitalists, private equity investors, financial advisors, panels, workshops and networking is sponsored by Clear Channel Advisors.  
    “This dynamic conference highlights today’s fast-growing subscription-based economy from monthly renewals and software as a service to strategic solutions enabling companies to gain higher sales, better yields and increase customer retention,” said Brad Turner, CEO Santa Monica-based 
Market Completion Fund and marketing director for Quants Corporation.
    Recurring revenue models empower companies to grow non-traditional sales, gain competitive advantage and increase market share in healthcare, retail, e-commerce, entertainment and hundreds of industries. Industry experts estimate the total market value of the opportunity for recurring revenue business at $500 billion or more. 
    Conference attendees will learn why companies less than five years old are valued at 10-20 times earnings or higher as others struggle to grow. How Salesforce, Adobe, NetSuite, Amazon, and Netflix have reaped huge benefits from new consumption and distribution models built on recurring revenue, and new partnering relationships including Comcast-Xbox, DropBox, SalesForce App Exchange, Apple App Store and others. And key criteria why investors are investing in this explosive growth category.​
     So what exactly is recurring revenue? According to Investopedia, it is the portion of a company's revenue that is highly likely to continue in the future; revenue that is predictable, stable and can be counted on in the future with a high degree of certainty.

Skirball Cultural Center
2701 N Sepulveda Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90049

The Skirball Cultural Center is an educational institution in Los Angeles, California devoted to sustaining Jewish heritage and American democratic ideals. It has been open to the public since 1996.
With recurring revenue business models shown to deliver stable, predictable income and higher customer lifetime value along with flexibility and personalization for customers, it’s no surprise that an estimated half of all U.S. businesses have either adopted or are planning to adopt recurring revenue models! 
    With recurring revenue fast becoming the gold standard for business models as not all revenue is created equal, many of today’s CEOs are advised to build this strategy into their own business models. Unlike traditional or one-time sales models that rely heavily on customer acquisition, up-front fees and outdated manual processes like spreadsheets and database exports, recurring revenue models offer opportunities to establish continual, highly predictable revenue streams. With scalability, enhanced customer engagement and longer retention. But beware of exchanging a current business model for the quick-fix recurring revenue solution: implementation often demands planning, processes, software and systems technology, along with seasoned experts to guide you. 
    Attendees will also learn why investors pay premium prices for companies with subscription revenue models, how successful subscription-based businesses are managing explosive growth, and why building and optimizing ongoing customer relationships are the lifeblood of subscription businesses. A host of panel presentations include The Big Impact of Big Data; So Cal Rockstars You Don’t Know-But Will, Cyber Security: The Shadow Under the Cloud, and Analytics That Drive Your Venture’s Valuation, Reinventing Med-Tech: Meet The Disruptors, and Fast Pitches To Seasoned Investors. 
Featured speakers are Nick Green, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Thrive Market; Perry Wallack, CFO, Cornerstone OnDemand; Esther Nordlinger, Creative Artists Agency (CAA); Alex Backer, QLess; Heather Bearfield, Marcum; Michael Bell, Infrascale Inc; Chirag Chotalia, Pritzker Group Venture Capital; Nick Desai, Heal; Mark Hauser, OFS Capital Management, LLC; Bill Hunscher, TZP Growth Partners; Amit Jain, Bridg; Graham Jones, eSalon; Ben Kuo, Socaltech LLC; BJ Lackland, Lighter Capital; Jess Lewis, FilmTrack; Chris Lueck, FastSpring; Brian Nolan, Sellbrite; Nimish Patel, Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp LLP; Robin D. Richards, CareerArc; Jesse Saivar, Greenberg Glusker LLP; Rick Smith, CrossCut Ventures; John Tabis, TheBouqs.com; Leonard Lanzi, LAVA; Barry Yates, NetSuite; Erik Rannala, Mucker Capital; Mark Schwartz, Harvard Business School Angels, and others.
