This event will help small business owners understand why engagement through eBusiness is so important—and how they can use it to turn passionate fans in their social networks into tomorrow’s new business.
 

One of the key components to getwired is the round-table sessions, where we bring together small groups of entrepreneurs (7-8 people, all business sectors, 1-5 years in business) to discuss their successes and struggles, and pose “burning questions” to one another in regards to social media.
 

This is a peer-to-peer learning opportunity, and the round-tables provides leadership in the session by placing a seasoned businessperson at the table as a mentor and facilitator for the group. The event is aimed at early-growth businesses from all sectors.
 

The mentor’s role is not to lecture, but rather to provide guidance, direction and perhaps anecdotes. Entrepreneurs are used to doing things for themselves. Surveys of past events have shown that they want to be actively involved in professional development events. The round-table sessions allow them to do this. Each round table will be 20 minutes long. Participants will have the opportunity to participate in four sessions from at least 12 choices.
 

If you are interested in participating in this event as a table expert please contact Jennifer @ jennifer.vivian@brampton.ca

Event Description: The Association for Information Technology Professionals in Higher Education Fall Seminar

Track 1. Turning IT Service and Support into a Strategic Asset IT organizations continually evaluate, deploy, and support new services to meet campus needs. A key success factor in this process is an effective service and support organization that can assist users with new and old services to maximum effect. This track will explore the tools, training, processes, and back-end support that IT organizations need in order to provide fabulous service to our campus constituency, and will consider effective organizational models for providing this needed support.

Track 2: All Things Wireless, Mobile, and Cloud The ability to access any piece of information from anywhere is today’s most disruptive technology driver affecting higher education. This track will explore how our institutions can use cloud and network services, mobile and wireless devices, and personalized technology to save money, improve learning, and expand research capabilities quickly and cost-effectively, as well as how we are adapting our IT organizations to support services we didn’t build, on devices we haven’t bought or specified, for users that are doing more with technology at every turn.

Event Description: Do you know what mental health is costing your organization?

The Conference Board of Canada recently estimated the cost to the economy of lost labour market participation from the six most common conditions afflicting the working-age population – depression, dysthymia, bipolar disorder, social phobia, panic disorder, and agoraphobia. These six alone will cost about $20.7 billion in 2012. Advancing at a rate of almost two per cent each every year, this will grow to $29.1 billion annually by 2030.

Join us, and find out how to make the most of your organization’s mental health and wellness investment.

New Strategies for Attracting New Customers and Turning Your Time into Money!

Here’s what I look for when considering whether or not to represent a speaker. 

First of all, integrity and enthusiasm. 

Secondly, does your promotional material really reflect your fee level?  If your fee is higher than your promo materials merit, I have to wonder about the disconnect. 

Do you have a well designed promo page?  If not, I just can’t sell your services.  Bureaus sell the package not the person. 

Do you have a credible short video?  Buyers want to make sure you can engage an audience. 

And finally do you have a reputation for being easy to work with?
