<p>The Small Business Summit is a free three day online conference featuring a host of experts sharing the secrets of their success.</p>
<p>This series is really a great resource for business owners.  The majority of the sessions feature a fantastic assortment of guest speakers from a variety of industries.  Mixed in are some Microsoft product specific sessions which can also be useful if you are looking for solutions for yourself or for clients.</p>
<p>This year they are doing the sessions based on a specific daily focus:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<div>Tuesday, Oct 14th &#8211; Sales and Marketing</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>Wednesday, Oct 15th &#8211; Productivity and Security</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>Thursday, Oct 16th &#8211; Financial Management</div>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Sessions start each day at 12:00 PM EDT</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve always found the sessions worthy of the time investment.  It&#8217;s free and you can pick and choose the presentations you wish to attend.  Visit the <a title="Microsoft Small Business Summit - Home" href="http://www.microsoft.com/smallbusiness/summit/">Small Business Summit</a> for more information or to register.</p>
<p>If you can&#8217;t make this live event, they usually make the presentations available for later viewing.</p>
