Insights for Established Businesses
Once you’ve grown your company beyond $9.9 million, you’ve definitely moved past some of the more basic struggles, but there’s always room to improve. When you are looking to grow at scale, talking to fellow leaders in the industry can help unlock relevant ideas for complex issues.
ELEVATE enables you to create relevant connections with the Peer Circle Chats on the Expo floor as well as multiple different roundtable discussion opportunities during the three-day event. These conversations can reduce your strategic guesswork and allow you to compare notes with leaders who are facing similar challenges.
The ELEVATE Expo also serves as a time to meet suppliers and have strategic buying discussions. The Innovation Stage on the Expo floor will also highlight how current tools are benefiting businesses. When you bring your team with you, you can multiply your impact as you can achieve multi-leader alignment by attending more of the concurrent sessions offered.
Some of the relevant sessions for companies your size include How to Recruit Top Talent with an Internship Road Map, Telematics-Driven Risk Reduction & Safety Culture and The Organic Growth Engine: Building a Company-Wide System to Scale Commercial Maintenance Revenue.
Level Up Your Large Organization
For companies larger than $25 million, your focus shifts to strategic conversations and industry-relevant executive dialogue. At ELEVATE, there is no better place to access fellow business owners and discuss the factors that are shaping the future of the industry.
During the numerous organized networking events, you and your senior leaders can consult with peers on topics such as managing labor and H-2B pressure, evaluating technology, benchmarking performance, and navigating succession or PE-driven growth. Meanwhile, at the ELEVATE Expo, you can strengthen your existing supplier relationships and find new solutions by attending the Innovation Stage session on the show floor.
Additionally, you can gain the tools necessary to speak for the industry by attending the complimentary Advocacy Academy on Sunday, Nov. 8.
