Microfinance Conference at Cambridge

The Cambridge Microfinance Initiative hosts a conference every so often to help local entrepreneurs, and one is coming up on October 11, 2009. Here is the announcement:

We are pleased to announce that we will be hosting a free web, marketing, presenting, and legal issues conference on October 11, in partnership with Accion Bank and the Harvard Law School's Wilmer Hale Clinical Center. The conference will focus on building the skills that entrepreneurs need in order to successfully promote their businesses and market their products, with an additional emphasis on learning about the myriad of web and legal resources that can aid in this task. The conference will also feature opportunities to network with fellow small business owners as well as with representatives from our partner organizations.

The event will take place from 10-3 on October 11 at the Harvard University Yard at Sever Hall, Room 113. A more detailed map showing the location of Sever Hall can be found at www.map.harvard.edu.
