Invited speakers include top White House and Administration officials, Governor Jeb Bush, Ambassador Jon Huntsman and leaders from the corporate and investment world. Past speakers have included NASDAQ CEO Bob Greifeld, John Sheldon of MasterCard Labs and Mayor Michael Nutter of Philadelphia.

The convention theme is "Where Innovation Meets Scale". Issues to be addressed include creating 100,000 new jobs for veterans, recognizing mid-market women leaders, connecting mid-market CEOs to investment opportunities, capital and board positions, cyber-security, the M&A outlook, healthcare, social media, emerging markets, corporate social responsibility, technology, innovation, tax policy, intellectual property and customer analytics.

Mid-market companies are essential to global economic success.

  • The mid-market is defined as companies that generate between US$100 million and US$3 billion per year in revenue.
  • Nearly 20,000 US-based mid-market companies employ over 30 million people.
  • The mid-market generates approximately US$10 trillion of the US$30 trillion of annual gross receipts in the United States.

Mid-market CEOs know how to lead complex organizations and creatively use the resources to which they have access.  They have the understanding of scale that small businesses lack and are impacted by the conditions on the ground from which the Fortune 500 are often insulated.

The Mid-Market Convention has been called the "Davos for the Mid-Market", a place to look at the issues from a different perspective - the mid-market perspective - and offer some fresh solutions.

The convention agenda includes:

  • The CEO Connection Connecting Veterans to Success program that challenges Mid-Market Companies to hire 100,000 veterans by the year 2020
  • Launching the CEO Connection Mid-Market College Internship program
  • Launching the CEO Connection Innovation Committee and Angel Investment network business plan showcase
  • Recognition of the Mid-Market Award recipients, the Mid-Market 500 and the Most Influential Women in the Mid-Market

Key partners of the 2015 CEO Connection Mid-Market Convention include KPMG, MasterCard, the Canadian Government, US Department of Commerce MBDA, the state of Tennessee and the Wharton School Aresty Institute of Executive Education.
