First Focus on Local Business CEO Summit
As the EDC’s First Focus On Local Business partners understand that 80 percent of new jobs in a community are created by existing businesses, we are pleased to offer a free business resource event geared specifically to CEOs of second stage companies. The CEO Summit, sponsored by the Florida Economic Gardening Institute, will be held in conjunction with the TalTech Alliance TechExpo 2011 at the FSU Turnbull Center on Thursday, May 5 from 2:15 p.m. to 6 p.m.
GrowFL is a free program that provides high-end, quick-response technical assistance and business resources for 2nd stage companies that have grown beyond the startup phase and need access to information and decision-making tools typically available only to larger companies. The CEO Summit will include:
- A panel presentation of resources available for cultivating growth companies
- An Elevator Speech Exercise from 2nd Stage CEOs
- Speed Networking with our region’s business powerhouses
- Option to join the TalTech Alliance closing reception.
