Dear John, With Q4 around the corner, it’s time to get serious about your 2019 growth strategy. The ScaleUp Summit (October 16-17 in Denver) is tailor-made for business leaders like you who are committed to growth and who are ready to put in the work to make it happen. I’m committed to delivering real value, easy-to-use tools and templates, and actionable plans that you can take back to your business and implement immediately. This is especially true for our Fall 2018 Summit — a two-day, high-energy, super interactive event designed specifically to help you scale your company. You’ll be in a room with more than 800 fellow leaders — high achievers with a passion for business and innovation. Together, we’ll learn from some of today’s greatest minds in business, including: Morten Hansen, author of Great at Work and an expert on smarter work practices Brad Feld, author of Do More Faster, who will teach us how to think like a startup Sandra Joseph, a Broadway actress who helps leaders find their creative voices Chris Yeh, author of Blitzscaling: The Lightning-Fast Path to Building Massively Valuable Companies Geoff Smart, author of Who: The A Method for Hiring Alysia Love, an expert on the unique traits of great leaders Doug Rose, who will share insights into how artificial intelligence will change our businesses Tiffani Bova, author of Growth IQ and a customer-experience guru Dandapani, a Hindu priest who will help us tap into our entrepreneurial spirit Mo Fathelbab, company culture expert and author of Seven Keys to Accelerating Friendship at Work John Hall, a former EY Entrepreneur of the Year Award winner and expert on strategic leadership As with all Scaling Up events, the sessions will be interactive featuring table discussions, activities and opportunities for questions with each speaker. We build in lots of room for connecting with peers. You might also consider bringing key members of your leadership team — we’ve found it to be a real gamechanger when it comes to implementation of the plan. Plus, we offer a $300 per person discount for groups of four or more. I hope to see you in Denver in October and look forward to helping you Scale Up in 2019.
