Wed, 18 May Speaker Meeting: Create, Collaborate, Communicate – Tools for Entrepreneurs and Consultants

All professional women welcome whether members or guests

Wednesday, 18 May 2011, 7-9.30 p.m.
Digital Strategist Sara Rosso presents:
“Create, Collaborate, Communicate – Tools for Entrepreneurs and Consultants”

Are you overwhelmed by the array of technology tools available? Do you sometimes feel you need an in-house IT professional to help you make sense of the options? Does it seem that the Holy Grail of tech tools is only the click of a mouse away if only you knew how to use it and which version?

From working remotely with partners and colleagues, to open source tools you can use to grow your business, Sara will give an overview of a healthy arsenal of tools and practices any entrepreneur or consultant can take advantage of.

She’ll cover increasing your online visibility and credibility via use of blogs and other publishing outlets, share some tools for collaborating online with remote partners and clients, and touch on open source resources useful for any growing business idea or collaboration.

For those who are not very technical, she’ll outline some steps and considerations to prepare your projects to be built by developers, designers, and other consultants.
