Dear {firstname},

The positive feedback we have received from clients from GIL 2008 North America is overwhelming! A few notable highlights from the event included: 'CEO of the Year' Jim Balsillie, co-CEO of Research in Motion (RIM) and inventor of the Blackberry™; a book signing with New York Times best-selling author Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of "The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable"; Frost & Sullivan CEO David Frigstad presented "The CEO's Perspective on Growth: Maintaining a 360 Degree Perspective"; and Nick Pinchuk, CEO Snap-On Incorporated, delivered a powerful keynote, "Matching Business Models to Fast Moving Global Markets".

With a 100% delegate growth from the 2007 event and 100 CEOs from top growth companies in attendance, it is an event true to its name, and we are adding several GIL 2009 events throughout the year in select cities across the globe to accommodate this growth (see the listing in left column below for all locations).

We've summarized our findings from the 2008 event below. Also, please take note of the "WANTED: Authors" section to contribute your own opinion and expertise.

I look forward to meeting you soon!

Best,

The Lighter Side


 GIL 2008 North  America ended
 on a high note! 
 Between the  beautiful golf  weather and the  Sonoma Valley  wine tour, all  participants got a  true taste of San  Francisco's best.

And everyone loved the European Cabaret stylings of Teatro ZinZanni - complete with Cirque show and dinner along San Francisco’s historic waterfront.

A special congratulations to all of this year's Growth Excellence and Green Excellence award recipients!

It’s hard to get away from high energy prices at the moment.  That’s why it was no surprise to anyone that energy efficiency was the main theme of discussion in the Environment and Building Technologies (EBT) industry track at the Frost & Sullivan Growth, Innovation and Leadership (GIL) Executive Congress in September.
