WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This is a must attend session for small business owners who are exploring technology options to grow their businesses.

Learn from experts who will speak about accounting tools, inventory controls, database management, Web 2 solutions and so much more.

You will have the opportunity to ask questions of the experts, network with peers and interact with service providers who are on the cutting edge of the latest technology applications for small business.

THE OUTCOMES

We often don’t know what we don’t know…

There is more to business technology than purchasing the appropriate hardware or software.

Once you have made the decision to adopt new technology or upgrade your current systems, you must be prepared to fully capitalize on your new capacity. Creating efficiencies and enhancing productivity will lead to increased profits.

Our one-day session will help you assess the technology options that are available and determine:

• if they are applicable for your business

• how to implement and integrate into your existing systems

• how to optimize your results
