Conferencing During Hard Times

Posted on October 28, 2008

I go to a lot of conferences–well, I have gone to a lot of conferences. I am, however, at a point where I really need to focus on the task at hand (client strategy) and take a step back from the conference scene. I will miss the networking component of conferencing, but just because I am not present at a conference does not mean that I have to miss the content.

I think that a lot of us in the media space feel this way. I also think that a lot of small business owners simply do not have the time to take an entire day and devote it to learning as, they have clients to serve.

Network Solutions understands that, at a time when everyone is concerned with their bottom line, many of us do not have the luxury of attending conferences. With that in mind they have created a virtual conference for their target audience–the small business owner.

Disclosure– My colleague Jane Quigley has been working on this event with crayon client; Oovoo.

The event is tomorrow, it is free and you don’t have to leave your office! No travel expenses, no playing catch up on email all night–you can get the content in a few hours and get right back to work
