The Company Lab (CO.LAB) has announced that Eric Ries, acclaimed entrepreneur, author, and pioneer of the lean start-up movement, will be the keynote speaker at the upcoming “CO.MOBILITY Summit.”
Scheduled for May 20-22 with the bulk of the programming on May 21 at the Chattanooga Convention Center, the annual event showcases world-renowned leaders who specialize in sustainable movement of goods, people, energy, and data. Last year’s inaugural Summit featured Steve Case, Co-Founder of AOL who was returning to Chattanooga after making the city one of two Tennessee stops during the “Rise of the Rest Road Tour” in 2018 (see teknovation.biz article here).

That book powered a global movement in business, practiced by individuals and companies around the world.
