TAG's Corporate Development Society Presents: 'Value Creation Strategies—Growing Your Small-to-Mid-Market Business Without Ruining What Makes It Special'

July 15, 2025 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM (EDT)

Description

Growth is critical—but for small and middle market businesses, it often comes with tough trade-offs. How do you scale without losing the mission, culture, and customer relationships that made you successful?

In this practical session, a panel of experienced entrepreneurs, operators, and investors will share real-world strategies for growing without compromising identity. Learn how to create long-term value, professionalize operations while preserving culture, and prepare for investment or exit without losing control.

Whether you're scaling now or planning for future growth, this discussion will offer actionable insights from those who have done it.
