The Marketing Conference Blog

You know how there are some groups out there that are just really helpful? One such group in West Virginia is Teaming to Win.

Each year, they put on a conference that helps (typically) small or new businesses in a variety of ways, especially in learning about federal government contracting. At the urging of super human being Wayne Barte, I attended last year. It opened up new ideas for revenue streams for my internet marketing business and introduced me to several rock stars, including Dave Berkey at PTAC (trust me on this one).

There back at it again this year. The 2008 conference will be held May 28 – 30 at Stonewall Resort in the heart of West Virgina. If you’re a small WV business, I strongly encourage you to check out the site and consider presenting at the “Spotlight on Small Business.”

If you like what you see, you will also want to consider the following workshop in Bridgeport, WV on April 18 that goes over how you can market your company at this conference. From their email:
