The Illinois Small Business Development Center at McHenry County College will begin offering no-cost roundtable discussions every month that feature social networking and how small business owners can utilize this newest outlet to promote their business. The monthly roundtable discussions will kick off at 6-8 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 26 at the Shah Center, 4100 W. Shamrock Lane in McHenry. Future offerings will be held the fourth Wednesday of every month.
This monthly gathering of small business owners is an interactive opportunity to discuss strategies and marketing methods with peers and share what's working on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and blogs. April M. Williams, a social media coach, author and speaker, will facilitate the discussion and will be available to answer questions that may arise.
“Social media is here to stay,” said Kristi Patterson, coordinator of the Illinois Small Business Development Center. “This can be a tremendous way to brainstorm with other small business owners and broaden your network,” she said.
The roundtable discussions are free, but registration is required as seating is limited. For more information or to register, contact the Small Business Development Center at (815) 455-6098 or send an email to sbdc@mchenry.edu.
