The People, Tools and Inspiration for Success

The East of England Development Agency (EEDA) announces that it will be hosting the region’s second flagship business conference on November 6th 2007

Exclusively for senior decision makers from the region’s fastest growing small to medium sized enterprises, Destination Growth ’07 follows on from the success of EEDA’s flagship business event in 2005, which received high acclaim from the region’s leaders and high profile speakers alike.

Destination Growth ’07 will feature a line-up of over 20 top international entrepreneurs and business gurus — all in one place, at one time, on your doorstep.

The exclusive one day event will focus on the key issues facing business today — innovation; sales and marketing; leadership; and accessing finance.  From keynote speeches to masterclasses to interactive debates, the day promises to be challenging, and the region’s leaders will leave with the tools and confidence to accelerate the growth of their business. 

The day will be facilitated by Radio 4 presenter and acclaimed journalist Sarah Montague.  As well as ensuring that delegates get their questions answered, Sarah will be using her journalistic skills to test our speakers, ensuring that no stone is left unturned!  To find out who else is speaking at Destination Growth ’07, check out the programme on the Destination Growth ’07 website www.eeda.org.uk/destinationgrowth.

Listening to and interacting with the high profile range of speakers and business entrepreneurs is just one element of Destination Growth ‘07.  Networking will be a key theme throughout the day and delegates will be provided with all the help they need to hook-up with likeminded business leaders.  A lively exhibition area will also bring together a range of business support organisations, so delegates can easily find the support they need to move their business forward.

And as if all that wasn’t enough, Destination Growth ‘07 will culminate in the final of running the gauntlet 2007, EEDA’s investment competition and education programme.
