    The World Financial Symposiums’ flagship conference series, Growth and Exit Strategies for Software and IT Companies, was first held in Palo Alto in 2002 and subsequently expanded to New York, and London. 

    With over 20 speakers for the one-day conference, all of the elements that a CEO or company owner needs to know to harvest value are covered:  IPOs, Venture Capital, Private Equity, M&A, Debt, Recapitalization, Due Diligence, Legal Concerns, Accounting and Tax, Valuation, Structure, Negotiation, Integration, Business Modeling, Strategic Planning, Management, and Leadership. In addition, there are motivational sessions, reports from leading researchers, a special buyer panel, and keynote speakers, including high-profile authors, entrepreneurs and industry luminaries who present on timely topics. 
     

    To date nearly every major investment bank, venture firm, private equity group, research group, as well as leaders from the accounting and legal community have been involved. Some of the most successful software and technology CEOs and CFOs have been speakers or panelists, including many who recently sold, were financed, made significant acquisitions or went public. In addition, the buyer panel has included major technology corporations in the world including Microsoft, Intel, Yahoo, Ebay, Intuit, Google, Adobe Systems, Salesforce.com, TA Associates, and many others. Please see past agendas to understand the depth and breadth of these outstanding educational conference offerings. 
     

    In addition to content-rich presentations and lively panel discussions, each conference has extensive break time, lunch networking sessions, and a cocktail party allowing attendees to have a chance to meet and talk with the various speakers and panelists, as well as their fellow attendees. Needless to say, many business opportunities have resulted from these networking sessions. Ask our sponsors!

    "My expectations were definitely fulfilled (10!) and I liked the fact that the content was geared to a variety of topics - overview and description of issues, how others have utilized or been affected by it, the impact on valuations and a stategic overview for implementation. Please let me know about upcoming webcasts."
