Internet Marketing Bootcamp

We’re putting together an Internet marketing seminar and you’re invited.

First off all, I apologize for the blogging silence; I’ve had my hands full for the past few months. But that’s not to say I’m out of touch with the design community, actually one of the ventures I’m responsible for now is a small seminar, with one of the topics being web design.

We’ve put together the Internet Marketing Bootcamp: a series of half-day Saturday seminars as an open-to-all crash course on Internet marketing. I’m speaking on the web design segment, so if you’re interested please head on over to the site and request for a free invite (you can say you got there from my blog ;)).

More info and press release after the break.
