David Falk is the Founder and CEO of Falk Associates Management Enterprises (FAME) and has represented more first round NBA draft selections, lottery picks, All Stars and Rookies of the Year than anyone in history. He was named the second most powerful person in the NBA, behind then-Commissioner, David Stern and is also credited with changing the entire salary structure of the NBA through the deals he arranged for his clients – which included such famous names as Michael Jordan.

Michael Chasen is the Co-Founder and former CEO of education technology powerhouse, Blackboard.

The Mid-Atlantic Growth Conference remains the region's must-attend business event, where top corporate growth and dealmaking executives can come together for networking, discussion and the sharing of business best practices.

In addition to the announced keynote speakers, the Mid-Atlantic Growth Conference will also feature a technology showcase to spotlight local firms with compelling, innovative technology.
