1871 Scale Up
ScaleUp is back for its 9th year.
This isn’t just another tech conference. It’s a high-impact, half-day immersion designed for those in the thick of scaling teams, products, operations.
Navigating today’s technical and geopolitical landscape requires more than just a good product—it requires resilient leadership and a tactical roadmap. Join us to bridge the gap between where you are and where you need to be.
🚀 Who Should Attend?
If you are responsible for driving growth and managing complexity, this is for you:
Growth-Stage Founders: Navigating the transition from startup to scale-up.
Late-Stage Scalers: Optimizing systems and expanding market reach.
Corporate Innovators: Bringing an entrepreneurial edge to established organizations.
Team Leaders: Developing the leadership grit to manage high-performing teams.
💡 What’s on the Agenda?
We’ve curated a half-day experience focused on three core pillars:
Tactical Growth Strategies: Forget the fluff. Learn from industry veterans who share the "how-to" behind their successes (and their failures).
Growth-Centered Workshops: Move beyond passive listening. Engage in interactive sessions designed to solve your specific scaling bottlenecks.
High-Level Networking: Connect with a curated group of peers, thought leaders, and potential partners within the Chicago tech community.
🛠 The takeaways:
Stay Ahead of the Curve: Deep-dive into discussions about emerging trends and the tools shaping the future of tech leadership.
Brand Awareness: Solidify your presence within the local ecosystem.
Renewed Inspiration: Walk away revitalized, with a clear action plan to take back to your office.
