BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:1.0 BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Cash Conservation During Times of Growth DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:"Cash Conservation During Times of Growth: How to Attract Employees, Service Providers and Vendors on a Shoe String Budget" Software Council of Southern California. When you can't compete with large companies, how do you hire great people and establish solid relationships with service providers and vendors? Since research indicates that 80 percent of all businesses fail in the first five years, it's critical to conserve cash, grow cost-effectively and still obtain the quality employees, services and products that you need. A stellar panel of people who have been there and done that will describe their experiences in growing their companies. Complementing those panelists will be a CPA, an attorney and a consultant who have guided new companies on their paths to success. Whether you're a start-up, emerging company or a business in a state of high growth, cash is king and cash conservation rules.
