Business Side

We're going to take over 1 session slot and use it as a jobs fair. If you're looking for work or curious about the market, this is the session for you. This will be the last session on Saturday, then it's off to the after party for more networking! :)

Anyone who is looking to hire can sign up. You get 3-5 minutes onstage to talk about your company/position/staff/benefits/answer questions, whatever you like. No more than 5 minutes though.

Sponsors will be given first priority. Volunteer/unpaid posts will also be accepted if there is time.

Learn how to setup Drupal 6 and Ubercart as well as how to connect them both up to the very popular Authorize.net gateway and Paypal standard gateway. Includes base modules as well popular modules to add on.

We'll be exploring web-based tools to make running a web design business easier and more profitable. We'll share tips and tools from your fellow developers and designers. Good for everyone running a business to learn and share. The end of the session will be a Q&A.

This will be discussion-style format to learn how we all do design and development. Come prepared to share and learn your tips and experiences. This will be in a small room so space will be limited.

You're building a great site; now how to get traffic from search (SEO) and social media channels. Pulling from "real world" client campaigns, tests/trials and industry experts, we'll look at how to plan SEO strategies, how to execute, and when to implement. Special attention will be given to key search-engine ranking factors, site structure and navigation, and building site "authority" (or, "PageRank" in Googlespeak). We'll also look at social media as a separate channel for driving traffic and building "branding". We'll wrap up with resources, weekly campaign suggestions and Q&A.
