Brent will be speaking between 8.00pm and 8.45pm on the 'evolution of the internet for e-commerce' to an audience of over 600 entrepreneurs and small business owners from Ecademy, the social business network which connects business people from all over the world.
The event will also be hosted by BBC broadcaster and professional speaker Jeremy Nicholas and provides an opportunity for business people to meet and network with like-minded individuals who are rapidly embracing online networking as part of their business development strategy.
'The use of the web is becoming increasingly common place in modern business and for many small businesses suffering from the Credit Crunch, the use of online networks such as Ecademy help to support a leaner business, greatly reducing the need to brunt the cost of ever increasing costs associated with business" explains Penny Power, who founded Ecademy in 1998 with her husband Thomas.
"The increasingly virtualised nature of business is significantly reducing business costs by enabling people to learn and collaborate online and having over 600 entrepreneurs coming together to meet at this the event is pure testament to they way people are embracing online networks to help grow their business in the 21st century' adds Power.
Ecademy itself is an example of a 21st Century virtual business and with over 275,000 members worldwide to date, the company has just five staff on the payroll and no offices, using the Ecademy Network for their resources and suppliers. It has experienced unprecedented growth in 2008, with figures well above forecast and an average of 15,000 new members joining each month.
