Digital marketing and transformation for business is a series of multiple workshops designed to empower entrepreneurs in the adoption and implementation of digital skills and tools to help their businesses survive...and thrive. “As 'non-essential' retailers have been forced to close across the country for an unspecified time, it is now vital for small main street businesses to cultivate an online presence. Prior to COVID-19, ecommerce was taking the retail world by storm. However, until now, building a digital network was merely good business advice. Today, it may be the difference between the life and death of a main street business.” Hosted by BowValley College

For entrepreneurs in Alberta's travel and hospitality business, the challenges of the pandemic have been unprecedented in every sense. There is no such thing as “business as usual” these days. Visitation is dramatically down, regulations have changed how you deliver the visitor experience, and solutions need to be improvised on the fly. The only certainty, it seems, is uncertainty. How does an entrepreneur face this, and not only find a way to make their business survive, but tap into a deeper purpose as they adapt and move forward? In his informative and inspiring webinar, award-winning business journalist and speaker David Sax digs into the Soul of an Entrepreneur, and explains how the two essential elements of every entrepreneur—freedom and risk—hold the secret to their resilience, and provide the base for reinvention, innovation, and the ideas that will allow them to face this once-in-a-generation crisis head on.
