Some Upcoming Small Business Events

Much like I did about a month ago, I wanted to provide you all with something of a roundup of upcoming small business events around the U.S. I will continue to add to this list as I learn about new events, and I would also like to encourage you to share other events in the comments, to try and help me make this as useful a resource as possible for people interested in attending or just learning about small business conferences, expos, etc.

Ways Online Forum Participation Can Benefit Your Business

Web forums can offer many of the same benefits to your business as social networks. In fact, I kind of tend to think about forums as the original social networks. They've been around and have been helping people much longer than MySpace and Facebook. You've got profile pages, private messages, and public conversation. Perhaps they don't typically have all the frills of a MySpace or a Facebook, but the general concept is there.

Benefits of Attending Conferences and Niche Events

There are a variety of reasons to attend conferences and events that are related to your niche. It's not always just about the information presented.Networking

Upcoming eBusiness Learning Opportunity

Small Business Enterprise Centre is hosting a half-day event in Brampton, Ontario on Monday, March 3, aimed at educating business owners on "using Internet technology to facilitate doing business". Is it worth attending?How in-depth this event will get into the eBusiness world, I am not sure, but it only costs $25, so if it turns out to be disappointing, it shouldn't be a huge loss.
