Are you a CEO of a fast-growing firm looking for the know-how and tools that small businesses need to succeed?
The Inner City 100 Symposium will take place on May 9, 2012 at the Sheraton Boston, where hundreds of high-growth small businesses from across the country will gather for a full day of cutting-edge management education and networking opportunities.
The Symposium is the culmination of the Inner City 100 program, a ranking of the fastest-growing companies located in America’s inner cities. This year's event will feature case studies and how-to workshops from leading content providers including, Harvard Business School, Babson College, Boston University, Next Street and R/GA advertising agency.
Following the day of education, CEO participants and 2012 Inner City 100 winners will be joined by corporate and civic leaders for the Inner City 100 awards.
