Enova International, Braintree and Sprout Social Launch New Tech Event Series
‘Build, Maintain, Grow’ offers actionable, technology-driven solutions from three of Chicago’s most successful tech companies
CHICAGO (April 14, 2015) – Three of Chicago’s most successful tech companies are coming together to launch an informative event series for tech and business professionals looking to discover technology-driven solutions they can apply to their own projects. ‘Build, Maintain, Grow,’ sponsored by Enova International in partnership with Braintree and Sprout Social, will offer first-hand knowledge and key insights into how companies at various stages of growth are using technology to address their unique needs and drive business results.
The first event in the series will be held at Braintree on May 6 from 6 to 8 p.m. After an initial networking session with appetizers and refreshments, six speakers will give five-minute presentations on topics ranging from launching a new startup to developing a world-class product in an ever-changing industry.
The fast-moving format of six quick five-minute presentations means event attendees can expect high-quality, concise and powerful insights that are easy to digest and apply to their own projects. And since the speakers hail from businesses ranging from a growth-stage company to a new public company, each will have a unique perspective and story to tell.
“We decided to partner on this event series because we believe strongly that the best solutions lie at the intersection of business and technology,” said John Higginson, chief technology officer at Enova. “We want to help arm the many talented people at Chicago companies with information and tools to propel their careers and businesses. This strengthens them, their companies — and ultimately the city as a whole.”
