Across the week Business Northumberland will hold daily workshops, online.

The week, branded Digital Disruption, promises to give businesses the tools to get noticed online, increase traffic, conversions and ultimately revenue for the businesses.

The programme will culminate in a grand event at The Alnwick Garden on September 17 with a panel of guest speakers and the ability to network and meet other like-minded businesses.

Delegates can expect to hear from local entrepreneurs who have utilised social media to propel their business to success and how they value the importance of strong content to ensure they retain and engage customers beyond their products and services.
