How can a small business navigate through all the available hardware and software options and develop the right solution that won't break the bank?

On April 4, the Lehigh Valley Chapter of SCORE will offer the sixth in a series of free informal "Round Table" discussions on topics of interest to small business owners, this one focusing on developing an affordable IT strategy for small businesses.

The discussion, which will be facilitated by a SCORE member, will take place 8-9:30 a.m. at Dunkin' Donuts, 3670 MacArthur Road, Whitehall.

Speaker will be Blake Kleintop, chief technology officer at MetroTek.

These roundtables offer participants an opportunity to meet other small business owners and developers and to gain insight and information on a variety of topics relevant to small business.

Each participant will be given approximately 30 seconds to introduce himself and may share his or her business card. Participants may not distribute marketing materials, such as brochures, and pamphlets.

Advance registration is required by logging onto lehighvalley.score.org or by calling Mitzi Colella at 610-266-3000.
