China has been a tough market to crack for U.S. internet companies. One of the key reasons is China has its own crop of hugely successful and highly innovative companies.

As part of the KPCB Leadership Salon series, KPCB General Partner John Doerr led a panel of education technology innovators to discuss how technology has – and will continue to – fundamentally change the way we approach education both in the U.S. and abroad.

The center of gravity in the mobile world has shifted from stalwart handset and telecom industry gatherings toward two upcoming events hosted by two huge tech companies: Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference and Google’s own yearly developer bash, I/O.

Andreessen Horowitz’s Chris Dixon and Benedict Evans tee up WWDC and I/O, what to expect, and what we may not get -- like an announcement Apple actually bought Beats Electronics.
