New speakers for GROW announced, including big names from HootSuite, Google, Facebook, and more

The roster of speakers for this year's second-annual GROW Conference in Vancouver is looking more and more impressive.

Many interesting speakers were already lined up, from Beyond the Rack co-founder and CEO Yona Shtern to the World of Warcraft-playng Jeff Clavier of SoftTech VC.

Now, several more big names have been announced, including CEO of Vancouver-born HootSuite, Ryan Holmes, and Brian Church, the newly minted country manager for LinkedIn Canada, as well as PayPal Canada's Darrell MacMullin, Microsoft's Don Mattrick, Facebook's Amin Zoufonoun, and Google's Chris O'Neill.

There will also be speakers from such companies as Nokia, Microsoft, and Research In Motion.

Grow 2011 is a three-day conference starting on August 17. Last year's event was a fantastic experience and this year is poised to be even better, so I would suggest registering.
