We understand the quest for business excellence and what drives leaders to do more, achieve more, be more.
That’s why each year we gather more than 2,000 of the nation’s top CEOs, entrepreneurs, advisors, investors and other senior business leaders to share their experience on innovation, transactions, growth and what’s shaping the future of the global economy.
2012 session topics include:
- Exiting gracefully: when and how to sell your company
- New markets, broadening the geographic footprint via M&A
- Staying ahead in our interconnected, mobile world
- How entrepreneurs are shaping public policy — post-election outlook
The Forum concludes with the national Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year® Awards. Hosted by Jay Leno, this is the largest gathering of entrepreneurs in America.
