Partnership holds luncheon seminar on Emerging Technology

   

The Wright County Economic Development Partnership held a Noon Luncheon Seminar at the Wild Marsh Golf Club on December 13 th . A buffet lunch was provided for all those in attendance. The presentation was made in the fireplace room.

Amy Stewart of Group 10 Technology gave a presentation entitled “Emerging Technologies”. Amy has over 15 years experience in the telecom industry, and she had a few stories to tell about the experiences her clients have had with the various types of telephone services. At the end of the presentation, it was clear that there is a big advantage in having a consultant guide a business with their selection of telephone services, because of the multiple types of service available and the varying needs of different businesses. A consultant can help a business decide which telecommunications tools work best for them.

The Wright County Partnership's Development Series Luncheons are a great place to network with community leaders from Wright County and get first-hand information about various development activities. The discussions held at these events have been very valuable to developers, city representatives, and others.
