Packed with discussions, roundtables and networking

Founders attending typically have $10m+ revenues and 50%+ revenue growth (many are much larger)

Fast Growth Icons creates a closed-doors environment where you can openly share your ambitions and challenges and get valuable insights from speakers and participants.

You’ll meet some of the regions most interesting founders in intimate discussions over dinner, lunch and numerous round table sessions – over 9 hours of networking and discussion across the event.

You’ll take back the office some great inspiration and practical advice, as well as lots of new contacts you’ll want to stay in touch with.
