Social Media Summit la Timisoara!

Am mai afirmat si cu alte ocazii ca imi place sa particip la conferinte si evenimente oriunde in Romania si in lume, atat ca sa invat ceva nou cat si ca eventual sa prezint ceva de interes pentru participanti in conditiile in care organizatorii imi permit acest lucru.

Inscrierile se fac pana la data de 10 octombrie 2010 pe siteul official al conferintei: www.how-to-web.net. Scopul competitiei Startup Challenge este de a gasi cele mai interesante business-uri aflate la inceput de drum si a le ajuta pe acestea sa devina cunoscute si sa se bucure de sprijin din partea investitorilor si antreprenorilor deja cunoscuti.
