Patrick Hood to Speak at Investment Forum

CRG's President and CEO, Patrick J. Hood, was asked to speak at the CompositesWorld investment Forum conference to be held in Ft. Worth, Texas October 17-18. This international conference is designed for executives from leading composites industry suppliers, industry analysts, investment bankers and industry end users. After an overview of the growth metrics and market projections for the general composites industry, specific areas of the market poised for growth will be discussed. More than 100 attendees will explore the various stages of a company’s corporate lifecycle and learn growth/investment strategies for executives and managers to consider as tools in order to grow their business – whatever position that company may currently occupy in the lifecycle.

Dr. Hood's talk will be entitled "Concept to Commercialization: Transforming Technology into Business." The talk will cover the process of taking an idea from proof of concept to a product-based business. (9-27-11)
