Business leaders often are praised for their vision. Equally important is the ability to execute the plan to create a functional, flexible, and successful company.

CED's Emerging Trends features three CEO's who are "walking the walk" - growing strong businesses by focusing on strategy and operations. Join us for an interactive session with these leaders who have created value by establishing a competitive advantage in significant markets.

In addition, the program will include an economic forecast by Mark Vitner, Wells Fargo managing director and senior economist, based on the outcome ofhte national and state elections; and up-to-date information on comparative benefits for North Carolina companies in the tech and life science sectors.
