Content and Speakers

It’s a whole new world out there for small businesses. These forums will look at what the savvy business owner needs to know about social network marketing opportunities and online sales generation.

A fast changing world doesn’t always have to create new problems for business, it can present new opportunities too. Peter Switzer explores the social media boom of Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, and gives you practical tips and advice on how you can harness these new powers to generate larger business returns. Peter will also discuss how to take advantage of the shift to online retailing by giving your customers more channels to buy from your business. 

Peter will be joined by Craig James who will present an economic update including the trends that may affect you and what to expect in 2012, so your business can stay ahead of the game.

These forums will also provide you with a great opportunity to ask Peter or Craig any burning questions and network with other small business owners at the event. 

Seats are limited, so be sure to reserve yours today.
