May 2, 2007: Unleash the Power II: Internet Marketing Toolkit, Seminar #1

The first in an interesting and pretty affordable 4 part series from the Lincoln Park Business Development Institute. Seminar #1 covers the “must knows” of developing or redesigning a site, including picking a web developer and asking the right questions. If this event can teach you how to avoid a crappy web guy, it’s worth the $85, believe me.
