A unique, high-powered, growth-strategy seminar for the Midlands is bringing together senior executives from the region's largest and fastest-growing advanced manufacturing and technology companies on 25th May 2010.

Review your strategy for gaining market share, increasing profits, and restoring shareholder value as the market recovers
Learn the strategies and tactics being implemented by some of the largest manufacturing and technology companies in the UK and the Midlands, in keynote speeches directly from their executives
Look at your business and the market from a different perspective
Discover how to learn from others' mistakes and find the business strategy that gives the confidence to act decisively
Exchange ideas, viewpoints and lessons learned
Discuss the challenges and opportunities presented by today's business climate.
60% of all businesses that exit a recession as market leaders were not leaders going into the recession - Harvard Business Review.
"Manufacturing appears to be on an upward trend... UK firms are planning to step up production in the next quarter," said Ian McCafferty, the Confederation of British Industry's Chief Economic Adviser, quoted in an April 2010 press release. "Given the improving picture, manufacturers are feeling more optimistic about the business situation."
"Successful companies understand that the first-mover advantage is never greater than when used at the tipping point between recession and growth," said Nick Smith, Director of Eurofilms Solutions, a Midlands-based manufacturer of advanced packaging solutions. "That point is now."
Innovative companies such as IBM, Dell, Oracle and Lenovo understand the benefits that come from looking outside their organisation for fresh ideas to grow market share and increase profits.
Directors and senior executives operating in similar sectors in the Midlands are invited to learn how to secure these benefits for their own companies by joining with others to share experiences and insights at this unique seminar.
