Top Silicon Valley Sales Influencer To Headline Amplify Atlantic
HALIFAX– Atlantic Canadian startup accelerator Propel announced Thursday that it will be bringing its growth marketing event, Amplify Atlantic, back to Halifax for round two this fall.
Amplify Atlantic offers a chance for companies to learn from the world’s top growth marketing experts.
This year’s event takes place November 13 and will be headlined by Steli Efti, Founder of Close.io, an inside sales CRM for startups and SMBs. He’s known as Silicon Valley’s most prominent sales leader and has advised hundreds of startups on growing their sales teams successfully. He has written over many books about startup sales and invests in early-stage startups as an SVP at PioneerFund.
Last year was the first year for Amplify. After receiving rave reviews from a nearly sold-out crowd and many requests for another event, Propel said they knew an encore was necessary.
“The feedback from last year’s event was overwhelmingly positive,” said Yves Boudreau, Amplify honourary co-chair and CEO and co-founder of New Brunswick-based startup Alongside. “We saw first-hand that companies in Atlantic Canada are starving for this type of content and they were insistent we should have another event this year.”
Other headliners include Alistair Croll, renowned speaker, entrepreneur and author of best-seller Lean Analytics; Catherine Graham, CEO of commonsku and the President of RIGHTSLEEVE and Eva Lau, managing director and co-founder of Two Small Fish Ventures. More speaker announcements are expected to be made at a later date.
