<div class="description">
<p>After spending the last year on defense, companies must be able to quickly shift gears and get back on offense - how quickly and what are the tripping-points for spending?</p>
<p>Special guests, Scott Gibson, Chairman of the Board, RadiSys Corporation and Brian Bronson, Chief Financial Officer, RadiSys Corporation will share how they are altering plans to take advantage of the economic uptick.</p>
<p>Discussion Points:</p>
<ul>
<li>Dealing with pressure from the Board to stay ahead and be ready to EMERGE NOW</li>
<li>How to emerge responsibly without spending too much (for private companies - risking your opportunity to be an IPO candidate)</li>
<li>What to spend money on - hiring, marketing, development</li>
<li>How to manage your team - employee retention, moral</li>
<li>Strategic Planning with uncertainty
What expectations does the Board currently hold for the CFO</li>
</ul>
<p>Thank you KPMG LLP for sponsoring this event!</p>
