Registration is now open for The University of Toledo College of Business and Innovation’s Fourth Annual Internet Marketing Conference scheduled for Oct. 2, from 7:30 a.m. until noon in the UT Student Union.

“This conference follows the three very successful Internet Marketing Conferences conducted by the UT Interactive Marketing Initiative in 2009 -2011, and is intended to build upon and expand the knowledge areas addressed in previous years,” said Dr. Iryna Pentina, co-director of the UT Internet Marketing Initiative

The goal is to have participants leave this half-day conference with the game plan and ideas they need to take positive action to advance their businesses in today’s digital age.”
