The Fast Track to the US invites all participants to attend a three-day Fast Track Summit in the US. The Silicon Valley-based summit is an intensive immersion into US business practices and culture presented in a series of informal workshops on market entry challenges, participation in our FocUS Marketing Workshop with US presentation expert Dan Sapp and market analyst guru Chris Shipley, and roundtable discussions with corporate, employment and immigration attorneys and a group of venture capitalists.

“The environment enables people to communicate, to flourish, to share ideas—it’s very open—and very refreshing. It’s good for me to hear the challenges that other companies are facing because I don’t feel so alone.” — George Polus, Red Wahoo

“The robustness of the discussions reflects an openness of each of the companies to participate and also the presenters and panelists.”— Russ Wood, Earth Systems Technologies

“Being involved during the Summit with people who are on the journey and some of those who have already succeeded produces a level of confidence that removes some of the doubts that sitting over in Australia, you’ll never overcome.” — John Allison, Advertiles
