Inc. is putting on a conference for growing companies called GROWCO.
GROWCO happens on Wednesday, March 18, 2009, through Friday, March 20, 2009, at the JW Marriott Orlando in
This year, GROWCO will focus on how to:
- Grow when money is tight. In this economy, everyone’s feeling the pinch. GROWCO will show you how to expand without overextending.
- Find money you already have. Sometimes your assets aren’t immediately obvious. Meet some creative entrepreneurs who discovered cash in their companies, and learn how.
- Poach talent. A lot of your competitors are currently laying off staff. Now is the time to invest in your work force. Our speakers will show you how to invest without breaking the bank.
- Learn the magic number. At a time like this, watching your financial statements is crucial. Our speakers will teach you how to decipher the numbers to avoid the worst.
- Find funding. You need them to say yes, but the banks and VCs are saying no. GROWCO will show you how to approach sources for capital.
Speakers at GROWCO include:
- Ram Charan, an accomplished author, acclaimed consultant, and former professor. Ram can count Jack Welsh as one of his biggest fans.
- Jack Mitchell, recently celebrated his family business’s 50th anniversary. Warren Buffett said everyone would be better off if we followed Jack’s advice.
- Norm Brodsky, serial entrepreneur, author, and columnist for Inc. magazine. Norm is the founder of seven businesses, including a three-time Inc. 500 company.
- Tom Wujec, thought-leader and award-winning technology innovator, author of three books on creative thinking.
