Meeting Overview:
CEO's and capital providers will talk about how and why
their companies and investments are succeeding: they will
provide insight on how they managed their businesses through
the market downturns and the near-elimination of investment
capital. Having held the course of their companies in the
face of all the negativity from the dot-com meltdown,
collapse of the venture capital markets, accounting
scandals, and stock market nose dive, these companies are
now poised to accelerate their growth. How did they do it?
Why them? What was 'special' about what they had and how
they executed it? These and other related questions will be
addressed by our panelists with ample opportunity for you to
question our panel on your business situations.
This is a meeting you cannot afford to miss. Come out and
hear what our panelists have to say and ask them questions
based on your own situation. If you would like to submit a
question in advance, send it before September 6, 2004 to
[email protected]. Please title it: Enet Question.
