A FREE conference will offer businesses from all over Dorset advice on keeping on top of trends.

Superfast Business Conference: EMarketing and Technology Megatrends for 2014 and Beyond takes place on Tuesday, October 21, 9am to 2pm, at Kingston Maurward College.

It will feature two keynote speakers – David Lakins, managing director of Key Multimedia Ltd, and Paul Tansey, MD of Poole-based Intergage.

Businesses will have an opportunity to assess their own websites’ performance and receive guidance on developing them to fit the latest trends.

David Lakins said: “The landscape of the web is changing.

“Increasing usage of smartphones and apps, along with new design trends such as long scrolling pages, have made it more important than ever that businesses are able to keep their web presence up to date in order to stay relevant and satisfy their customers.”

The event includes a networking lunch. It is funded by the European Regional Development Fund and eligibility criteria apply.
