Get Ready for smAlbany!

You may have heard the term smAlbany the last few years, and even seen the promotions. But what is it about? smAlbany is an event put on by small business leaders for small business leaders, to get us all in the same place to network, offer eachothers services, bounce ideas off one another, get ideas for surviving the economy, etc. Pulled from the smAlbany website, "smAlbany was concieved because of the tight-knit business community surrounding the Capital District. With the difficult economic times, small businesses need to be agile and on the cutting edge of their field. From Google Adwords to protecting your company's intellectual property to learning how to start a new career path, smAlbany's seminars give you the knowledge to be ahead of game." http://www.smalbany.org/

So, we hope to see all of you at this years event, whether it be as a vendor, or as an attendee. This years event takes place on July 27th, at the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering on 255 Fuller Rd. Albany. You can register right at the website, http://www.smalbany.org/ or email smalbany@liberteks.com.
