CONFERENCE
OVERVIEW

The ‘social-distancing’ aspect of COVID-19 has been a game-changer in so many ways, especially on its impact on the economy of middle-market companies.  But hard times don’t have to mean bad times.  Instead, hard times present opportunities to create ‘WIN-WIN’ outcomes. Consequently, we will presenting this conference online as a VIRTUAL CONFERENCE.
