Here we go again! As I do each week, I am really enjoying bringing our readers a quick round-up of the blog coverage I didn’t manage to get to during the week prior.
In addition, here at SMB Nation, we are already gearing up for our annual fall event to be held Oct. 10-12 in Las Vegas at the Rio! We have been hard at work designing a brand new Web site specifically for this event, which you must check out today: http://fall.smbnation.com/. For additional information on the new Web site, our cool XP Migrations video produced by Bigger Brains, and our fall conference, check out our blog post here.
For online events this week, don’t forget to register for our Web Seminar to be held this Thursday, August 8 at 10 am PST. This week’s topic is: “Harness the Speed and Security of the Cloud,” and will be hosted by our own Harrybbb who will be joined by Chip Bieler of GFI MAX.
