A Virtual Event on Zoom
The event is over, but the party’s still going.
We had such a blast hosting and participating in this event. We didn’t want anyone to miss out. That’s why we made all the content available after the fact, along with tons of great downloads and links to catch up with the speakers and attendees.
Life and business have been a challenge lately! Whether you’re running your business with children wreaking havoc in the background, or struggling to pivot a business that features in-person services, things are not “normal.” And the harsh reality is that the normal we’re used to may not be coming back. So instead of waiting it out and hoping the situation will go away, let’s take charge! Take this opportunity to learn, adapt, and overcome.
With a quick Zoom tutorial to start, educational speakers, takeaways, and speed networking, this is a virtual event you don’t want to miss! And if you’ve never attended one before, this is the opportunity to get your feet wet with a group of supportive business owners who can help you navigate the Zoom world.
