Register now for Astia's First Annual CEO Summit, now taking place February 15-16, 2012. The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation is generously hosting the CEO Summit at their conference facilities at the Foundation's headquarters in Kansas City, MO. 

 

The first annual Astia CEO Summit is an opportunity to have laser-like focus on your success and what it means for you, as a CEO, to lead your company to that success.
