“With the Tech Summit, we want to show smaller organizations how to get access to some of the same technology that larger organizations use, but at a cost relative to the company's size and needs,” said Weinman IV. “By simply exposing these businesses to what’s available, they can learn how to implement technology into their everyday practices successfully and increase their bottom line.”
In addition to the short sessions, the summit will host 15-minute roundtable discussions. Attendees may join discussions on social media tips and tricks, Facebook advertising, search engine optimization, All Things Google and more.
