August 13, 2010 at 01:02We RMAzing in Silicon Valley
So, a few hours remain until the start in Silicon Valley (aka Siliconova) Valley of a unique two-week internship Silicon Trip 2010, organized by the innovative and educational company RMA for students of the faculty "Management in the field of Internet technologies". Tickets purchased, suitcases collected, Russian-silicone phrasebooks pocketed - California, here we come!
The delegation going to the USA includes a little more than 30 people. In addition to the faculty fraternity, actually students and graduates, these are partners and teachers of the program, whose names are known to anyone more or less interested in the Internet industry: Anton Nosik (bfm.ru), Sonya Sokolova (zvuki.ru, soundkey.ru), Inessa Ishunkina ( TNS), Emin Aliyev (Buongiorno), Lyudmila Kudryavtseva (Ashmanov and partners), Maria Chernitskaya (iConText), as well as Damir Khalilov, head of the GreenPR SMM agency (which, incidentally, provides social media support for the project).
During the trip, we plan to visit silicon Internet companies and study in more detail how everything functions from the inside. Note that industry giants like Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Yahoo, Wikipedia, Access and young promising Internet projects have readily responded to our offer of cooperation and exchange of experience.
The program of the trip includes visits to company offices, discussions with top managers about the main areas of Internet business development, a discussion of the problems that our American friends face and ways to overcome them successfully, as well as numerous discussions about the prospects and trends of the Internet industry.
It is especially worth noting that throughout the internship, its participants will have the opportunity to communicate with the top officials of the listed companies: CEOs, department heads, directors of key business areas are ready to answer their questions. In addition, it is planned for specially guests from Russia to organize several lectures on various aspects of innovative business and Internet commerce, which will be given by professors at Stanford University.
On the pages of Habr, we plan to regularly, throughout the trip, publish stories about our journey, meetings and experiences. And to give interactivity to these posts, right now we are announcing the start of a contest of questions. To do this, a schedule will be published in advance on the blog, indicating the companies that we are going to visit in the coming days. The question to one of these companies / speaker, who won the most votes, automatically wins in a separate round of the competition. And not only gets the opportunity to be asked at a meeting, but also earns his author a prize, one way or another connected with this company.
Scheduled for the first day of the trip, August 14th: lectures at Stanford University (by the way, in one of its most beautiful buildings
Forest Glick), Director of Educational Technology Management Science and Engineering (lecture on Stanford, the Valley and how this citadel of the latest technologies was built)
Jeff Johnson President and Chief Consultant of UI Wizards Corporation (lecture on a new, not yet published in Russia, the book Designing with the Mind in Mind)
Kenji Kato (Kenji Kato) , in addition to being a specialist at NASA, is developing programs for Apple. His iConcessionStand won the grand prize at the last iPadDevCamp 2010.
READY! STEADY! GO!
