Our speakers will be sharing secrets on how they've achieved returns on their investments and grown their businesses."

She added: "The audience will be able to gain knowledge from these distinguished and experienced minds, merging their strategies and methods to create a formula that will prove a success for any business - and moving 'likes to profits'."
