National Growth Summit
Upcoming National Growth Summit is on In Sydney on the 17th & 18th of February.
The entire conference looks interesting, but I am inspired by the Workshops. The technology Workshop looks particularly interesting.
The PDF for the summit describes it as:
Technology to Drive Growth and Profitability
In this highly interactive one-day workshop you will hear from leading experts who will
help you build an IT framework and invest in the next stage of technology and systems for
your business.
The one-day seminar will comprise of:
• Case studies and expert presentations of highly successful businesses
designed to illustrate real-world examples of best practices in the use of
technology and processes to achieve goals
• Keynote presentations by thought leaders taking an overview approach on
hot topics and issues of the day
• Demonstrations – how to/practical application of the latest technology
• Round table discussions – an opportunity to interact with other business
owners on their experiences with technology and ask the experts
questions relevant to your business
