These luminaries and more were all interviewed in the new book by Angelika Blendstrup, They Made It!.. In the book, they reveal their recipes for success and talk about their career and life choices. For this event, a few representatives from this this long list of Silicon Valley “greats” will join us for a lively, humorous discussion to tell us what influenced them in their lives, how they persevered, and what ways they have chosen to give back to the communities that helped them succeed.
