Workshop to Educate Entrepreneurs on Harnessing New-Media Opportunities

INDIANAPOLIS, IN  - The Indiana Economic Development Corporation's Small Business Development Centers (ISBDC) will partner with Carmel, Ind.- based web developer MediaSauce, to present a four-workshop series educating  Indiana entrepreneurs on driving business growth through new media.

The "Strategies for Business in the Digital Age," series will feature workshops on business internet strategies, using digital and social networking to drive sales, engaging and empowering customers and case studies of businesses that have used new-media to achieve unprecedented and exponential growth.

"The importance of digital and social media to business success and growth in the current environment is often overlooked," said Jeff Heinzmann, the IEDC's state SBDC director. "As we work to create and grow Hoosier business, the state is developing partnerships that will further equip Indiana entrepreneurs with the tools that maximize their chance for success."

Workshops will be offered quarterly beginning in March in the following communities: Bloomington, Evansville, Fort Wayne, Hammond/Valparaiso, Muncie, South Bend and Terre Haute. For course descriptions, regional dates and ticket availability, visit www.isbdc.org or www.businessinthedigitalage.com.

Indiana's Small Business Development Center Network's 10 regional support centers collectively serve more than 5,000 entrepreneurs that project to create and retain thousands of jobs each year.
