The event will also be hosted by BBC broadcaster and professional speaker Jeremy Nicholas and provides an opportunity for business people to meet and network with like-minded individuals who are rapidly embracing online networking as part of their business development strategy.
‘The use of the web is becoming increasingly common place in modern business and for many small businesses suffering from the Credit Crunch, the use of online networks such as Ecademy help to support a leaner business, greatly reducing the need to brunt the cost of ever increasing costs associated with business” explains Penny Power, who founded Ecademy in 1998 with her husband Thomas.
“The increasingly virtualised nature of business is significantly reducing business costs by enabling people to learn and collaborate online and having over 600 entrepreneurs coming together to meet at this the event is pure testament to they way people are embracing online networks to help grow their business in the 21st century’ adds Power.
