    Brochure A home for innovation The HP Garage—the Birthplace of Silicon Valley 367 Addison Avenue, Palo Alto, California HP Corporate Archives Brochure A home for innovation Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined residential street near Stanford University, the HP Garage stands today as the enduring symbol of innovation and the entrepreneurial spirit. It was in this humble 12x18-foot building that college friends Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard first pursued the dream of a company of their own. Guided by an unwavering desire to develop innovative and useful products, the two men went on to blaze a trail at the forefront of the electronics revolution. The history of the HP Garage The HP Garage in 1939 (top) and The garage stands behind a two-story Shingle restored in 2005 (bottom). Style home built for Dr. John C. Spencer about 1905. The exact construction date of the garage is unknown, but while there is no evidence of its presence on insurance maps dated 1908, by 1924 it is clearly denoted on updated documents as a private garage. In 1938, Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard decided to “make a run for it” in business. Dave left his job at General Electric in Schenectady, New York, and returned to Palo Alto while Bill scouted rentals. The garage was dedicated as the Birthplace of Silicon Valley in 1989, and HP acquired the He found one perfect for their needs on Addison property in 2000. HP is proud to have worked Avenue.

  • 2015 Annual Report.Indd
    TEAM SAN JOSE ANNUAL REPORT 2015 FROM OUR LEADERSHIP Dear Friends and Colleagues, It was a great year for San Jose and for Team San Jose. The team welcomed 1.49 million visitors to our managed facilities, generating over $134.9 million in direct spending to the local economy and earning $9.9 million in gross operating profit. In June 2015, Team San Jose exceeded our fiscal 2014-15 performance measures by 24%, marking the fourth consecutive year we have met or exceeded our goals. Strong hotel performance and solid growth in Transient Occupancy Tax provided the opportunity to expand our positioning as a premiere travel destination for business and meetings, as well as leisure travel. In the last year, to lead this new charge and foster our growing global identity, we launched a redesigned visitor-centric web experience at sanjose.org and enhanced our consumer social media presence. We also began working with Visit California in new ways for international promotion and crafted a brand partnership with CONTENT magazine for our first digital consumer newsletter. We worked closely with our stakeholders and cultural partners to welcome the world to the Bay Area for Super Bowl 50. As one of the world’s most important sporting events, the weeklong festivity attracted over a million visitors to the Bay Area and hundreds of millions of consumers via multiple media platforms. With the City’s Office of Economic Development, we spearheaded an inter-agency effort to ensure that our visitors had an exceptional experience and that San Jose maximized every media exposure opportunity available.

    20072007 ANNUALANNUAL REPORTREPORREPO T TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS We continued to demonstrate success in 2007 in executing our strategic plan. We took multiple steps to transform Live Nation into a vertically integrated live music company that directly unites artists, fans and sponsors across all revenue generating products. We are moving ahead to capitalize on our global concert platform as artists look for expanded and new business partners. Reaching an agreement in principle with U2 for a 12-year exclusive partnership is another signifi cant validation that Live Nation is the most attractive option for the biggest artists in the world. Madonna, and now U2, believe in Live Nation and our promising future as a highly innovative music company that is responding quickly to changes in the music business landscape. As a result, we believe Live Nation is a signifi cantly stronger organization, strategically and fi nancially, than only one year ago. Over the next year, we will continue to build on our three core strategies: • Grow our global concert platform internally • Prepare to launch our global ticketing, online business in 2009 • Continue to enter relationships with touring artists for longer and wider product lines centered around our core concert business When we launched Live Nation in December 2005, the company had been declining in overall profi tability for the previous few years. We set out to stop the decline and turn Live Nation into a growth company by running our core business better and by expanding into new revenue streams. In 2007, we set out to do four main things, all of which we achieved – to improve our North American Music operations, grow our International Music platform, launch the Live Nation Artist division and defi ne our Ticketing/ Online future.
