Dear Colleague,
It is my pleasure to extend this exclusive VIP invitation to join our community of senior executives who are seeking actionable
strategies, solutions, and growth processes that they can put to work in building a solid vision and strategy to drive growth.
Frost & Sullivan’s GIL event is the only Global Community of Growth, Innovation and Leadership and is a “must-attend” for
any organisation serious about improving its performance in growth, innovation and leadership.
This powerful event brings together a global network of today’s best thinkers, visionaries and thought leaders to deliver fresh
perspectives, innovative ideas, and practical solutions that will assist you in staying ahead of the curve.
Join us to examine the dynamics of growth and various tools and processes you can use to grow your business. Develop
relationships and participate in candid discussions focused on rethinking and strengthening your companies’ growth strategies.
Uncover new opportunities for growth applicable to virtually any economic climate. Identify structured processes you can
leverage to achieve your growth goals through real-world case examples, best practices, and key strategies you can employ.
I am also delighted that we will be welcoming many of our financial and professional services clients this year for a dedicated
track on Investment Opportunities in some of the most dynamic sectors of the economy, where we will identify and discuss
the most interesting themes, segments and stories for investment and acquisition across the corporate lifecycle.
Frost & Sullivan is honoured to host a distinguished roster of growth leaders sharing their insights and best practices. Join
us as we formally recognise their achievements at our 2012 Growth Excellence Awards Banquet, a veritable who's who of
the industry's premier growth companies and their leaders.
Whether you are a Growth Partnership Service subscriber, member of our Growth Team Membership programme or simply
frequent our best practice networking events, each one of our GIL Global programmes to date has been a sell out because
CEOs and their Growth Teams are not simply just attending GIL, they’re experiencing GIL; so please be sure you
and your colleagues confirm participation early.
I look forward to learning and benefiting from our combined experiences in shaping and driving our futures on a shared quest
for achieving growth, innovation and leadership.
Sincerely,
Aroop Zutshi
Global President & Managing Partner
