RAMPING-UP Software companies' growth, performance and value is the focus March 16 at the Nashville Entrepreneur Center, during an Executive event convened by the Software and Information Industry Association (SIIA).

The Nashville event -- "Deciphering Finance" -- is unprecedented for SIIA, which has previously conducted such conferences in larger cities.

VIC GATTO, Nashville entrepreneur, VC and chairman of Jumpstart Foundry, will provide the day's Keynote address, titled "Deciphering Success," in which he will discuss the emergence and eventual strategic sale of Change:Healthcare, the Nashville startup that sold in 2014 to then-Emdeon.

The full slate of speakers on five panel sessions and two individual presentations will soon be on the event's site. This article will also be updated, as warranted.
