Free and Open Source Software for Businesses

 

Description:  Software and website development can be among the largest expenses for a small business, but what most starts-ups don't realize is that most of the software they need is available completely for free.

Business owners and managers attending this session will be provided with access to free and powerful open source software from a variety of companies and sources that will allow them to create websites, write text documents, develop spreadsheets, edit images, and create brochures and presentations safely and legally using the same free and open source software currently used by thousands of U.S. Schools and Government Agencies.

Attendees will also be provided with free access to a series of online WordPress web development courses that are normally limited to access by Mobius Network paid clients.
