July Growth Series: Social Good, Scaled. The Story behind Flowers for Dreams
Jul 18
Growth is one of the best problems a business can have. It is also something that you, as a business owner, Director, C-Suite individual, or team member have to deal with on a regular basis. Whether it's closing a sale, seeking outside funding from investors, hosting a successful networking event, hiring new members, or even simply not going crazy, you have to be mindful about the actions you take when growth happens.
This is why we launched the Growth Series. Many of us have questions and few of us have all of the answers. VisualFizz, a digital marketing company that predominantly works with 'growth stage' businesses has been asked these questions constantly and we felt that it's time to provide you with some answers.
We have asked Chicago's best and brightest to speak up and chat with us AND YOU about what they've learned through their years of GROWING their own thing. These individuals are industry leaders, founders of notable companies, sales geniuses, event hosts and personalities, and so much more.
For this event, we will be speaking with Joseph Dickstein:
The story behind F4D is great. The story begins with two kids in college who boostrapped a business out of their parent's garage, selling flowers on the streets. The funds were used to launch what is now one of the biggest flower delivery services in the state of Illinois. They currently operate over 500+ weddings a season and are tied to their social mission. Joseph and his co-founder have an impeccable amount of learnings through their hard work.
What to expect:
Our panelist will be up on stage discussing their story. From the beginning to the end, the good times and the bad. We will ask them questions, we'll let the floor ask them questions, and we'll hold an open discussion.
Why this format?
We've held panels in the past and we realized there's just TOO MUCH good information to split amongst 3-4 panel speakers. That's why we're taking a more micro approach to understand the story of either 1 or 2 speakers.
Schedule:
- 5:30-6:15 Networking & Chats
- 6:15-7:15 Panel Discussion
- 7:15-8 Networking and Chats CTD.
