On February 15, 2012, OCBO and the E-Business Now Consortium, the Small Business Administration, the Service Corps of Retired Executives, and the Maryland Hispanic Chamber of Commerce will jointly host a series of workshops on broadband tools for small businesses.  E-Business Now was created to ensure that small businesses develop the skills necessary to compete in today’s rapidly evolving digital marketplace.

This free event will take place at the Convention Center here in the District of Columbia.  We encourage entrepreneurs from the tri-state area and beyond to take advantage of this unique opportunity.  The workshop will explore strategies for boosting your revenues through broadband technology; creating a technology plan for your business; building the perfect website; tech strategies for improving cash flow; and one on one mentoring sessions on the latest broadband applications and techniques for small businesses.

Whether your business is IT focused or traditional brick and mortar, this conference will offer much needed insight on how the web can help you create a virtual online presence, expand your business footprint and streamline your administrative processes.

We certainly hope you can join us in February. If you have any questions or comments, please contact me at Gilberto.dejesus@fcc.gov.
