Advisory boards can be the difference between success and failure at the start up phase of any business.
In Touch is a board services practice and has partnered with a start up expert advisory board member as well as a Chicago startup Founder who has successfully built an advisory board.

Our speakers will share valuable insights from both the recruiter and candidate positions, providing you with a complete understanding of how the process should be conducted, the challenges and the risks to avoid.
