PEDA Sponsors Online Site Selection, GIS Web Seminar January 26

The PA Economic Development Association is sponsoring a web seminar on January 26 from 9:30 to 11:00 on trends in online site selection and GIS technology.  
            How are businesses and site selectors using the web to screen/select communities?  The latest studies show that more than 97 percent of initial site selection screening is conducted online, so it’s more important than ever that communities have an effective web presence.
            This 90 minute webinar will cover trends and best practices for leveraging online strategies and tools for success in our field. Topics will include:
-- Making your website site selector friendly - what are the "must haves"?
-- Leveraging the latest technology, including mobile apps and GIS, to help prospects find information on your community.
-- Maximizing social media tools including Linkedin, Twitter and Facebook to reach prospects and drive traffic to your website.
            The presenter will be Mr. Anatalio Ubalde, CEO of GIS Planning, a highly sought-after thought-leader on the subject of economic development, the Internet and GIS strategies and has made presentations on these subjects throughout North America, Asia and Europe.
            He is the author of the books Economic Development Online (2011) and Economic Development Marketing: Present & Future (2008) and has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Forbes, and Inc. magazine.
