Xconomy will present this forum, where Peter Brooke, chairman and founder of Advent International and TA Associates, will sit down for an unprecedented one-on-one chat with another of New England's venture capital all-stars, Polaris Venture Partners co-founder and managing director Terry McGuire, who is also chairman of the National Venture Capital Association. Their intimate discussion will cover the origins of New England venture capital and its trials and tribulations through boom times and downturns--and then look more broadly at the current and future outlook for private equity and its role in worldwide economic growth.
