Small Business Workshops
VBG's Small Business Workshops provide an opportunity to learn valuable information concerning a variety of topics.
The workshops are held virtually via teleconference and usually last for approximately 1 - 1-½ hours. They are interactive, giving the attendees the opportunity to ask questions concerning the topic. Many times, the presenters will give attendees a special discount off their services for participating.
Members enjoy the workshops complimentary as part of their membership benefits. If you are not a member of VBG and would like to attend a workshop, please email our Workshop & Events Coordinator who will give you the information about the teleconference (events@virtualbizgroup.com).
Be sure to register in advance to ensure that you receive the call-in number and PIN in enough time to participate. Remember that technology does not always work in our favor. We recommend that you register at least 2 hours in advance of the workshop in case of glitches.
