Penn State Marcellus Shale Summer Webinar Series Hosted By PAGasDirectory.com
|
|
As development of Marcellus Shale natural gas grows in Pennsylvania, businesspeople statewide are being invited to a series of breakfast seminars to learn how it may create opportunities for their businesses. Energy firms are flocking to the Commonwealth to extract natural gas from Marcellus, and are partnering with or purchasing from local businesses and entrepreneurs.
PAGasDirectory.com is hosting a 'Your Business & Marcellus Shale: Building Business Connections" educational program at Steinbacher & Stahl's Elder & Special Needs Resource Center, located at 401 Washington Blvd., Williamsport.
The goal of the program is to help entrepreneurs and established small and medium sized businesses understand and respond to Marcellus Shale related business opportunities. The series will consist of six twice-monthly early morning webinars, with sessions highlighting successful examples of how local businesses are responding, how to identify gas industry needs, and how to establish productive and ongoing relationships with natural gas companies.
The series is co-sponsored by PAGasDirectory.com, a consortium of universities, chambers of commerce, local planning commissions and regional economic development boards from across the Commonwealth, with leadership from Penn State Cooperative Extension.
Presenters and panelists will include successful local businesses, natural gas industry representatives, and experts from Penn State. These trainings follow two successful series; the first series introduced business opportunities and the second profiled businesses and service companies on their experience working with the natural gas industry.
Each series had over 500 local businesses participate at local sites within Pennsylvania, Maryland and New York.
The six, 90-minute sessions will be held at the Resource Center, 401 Washington Blvd. in Williamsport, on the first and third Wednesdays beginning at 8am on June 2, June, 16, July 7, July 21, August 4, and August 18.
For more information about the series, send email to Joe Barone at: jbarone@pagasdirectory.com or see the 'Your Business & Marcellus Shale: Voices of Experience' website.
