From Day 1 through acquisition. What you need to know. Dan will provide a candid look into his experience going from a 1 person marketing team to being acquired by large global companies.
Dan will talk about what he learned from going from being part of a 16 person start-up to an 8,000+ person company...twice. He'll provide insight on what marketing tactics he did to make both start-ups an attractive target for acquisition as well as how he adapted once being acquired.
He'll also discuss how the marketing team grew and how his own position within the larger company changed post-acquisition and what led him to return to a small start-up (Ansible) after ShareFile's acquisition by Citrix only to have that company be acquired by Red Hat.

How to reach The Knowledge Tree and find a parking spot:
The Knowledge Tree is located on the corner of Hillsborough and Henderson St. The entrance is in the back of the building (Nehi Bottling Company). There is a restaurant right beside the Nehi Bottling Company to the left, The Wild Cooks Indian Grill.

There will not be a sign for The Knowledge Tree from the front. Just know it is behind the Nehi Bottling Company, and the Indian Restaurant.
For parking: You can either park in the lot that is pictured right behind The Knowledge Tree, on the side streets of the neighborhood surrounding it, (such as Henderson St.), or at the Dan Allen Deck a few minutes down Hillsborough St. off of Dan Allen Dr.
Traffic - Hillsborough Street is currently adding round abouts - which means they have removed the right travel lane. You will want to leave early. Google Maps has a feature that allows you to judge time to leave.
Hope this helps! We look forward to seeing you there!
