This month we'll be welcoming:

Courtney Kyle - Patterns to help you design and build for growth and scale

Growth and scale are at the core of any business request — businesses are always seeking expansion. So how do we pave the path for growth and scale in a way that serves our customers; in a way that enables our customers to grow and scale with us? And how do we do this at different levels? Because not only do we need to scale our products, but our internal processes and systems as well. I’m going to take you on a discovery mission to learn about some core design patterns found in nature, and how reflecting on those patterns during any creative process can help you identify scalable growth pathways.

No need to fear, long-time conference speaker and FES regular Chad is here to take you through how to come up with ideas, get started with slides and tips on handling nerves speaking in front of a bunch of strangers.
