And Lanaudi\u00e8re entrepreneurs are well aware of this. Nearly 150 people attended the conference given by Web chronicler Fran\u00e7ois Charron on May 1.<sup>er<\/sup> October, in St-Liguori. The Achigan-Montcalm and Matawinie SADCs are proud of the response from businesses, and hope that the conference has served to give entrepreneurs the tools they need to get started.<\/p>\n<p>To stay competitive and take advantage of the market, online sales are now a must. That's what Web expert Fran\u00e7ois Charron shared with us during his visit to Lanaudi\u00e8re. His conference demystified the world of online sales and reservations in the day-to-day life of an SME, and presented concrete solutions accessible to all. Since its launch in January 201<\/p>\n<p>2, this vast operation made stops in more than 100 cities across the province, reaching over 10,000 entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n<p>A kiosk area was set up for the occasion, enabling several Web and graphic design organizations and companies to promote their services. \"We're fortunate to have a wealth of resources in the region ready to help entrepreneurs develop their business on the Web. Whether it's for the design, promotion or financing of your projects, the services are there,\" says Michel Cl\u00e9ment, General Manager of SADC Matawinie. We invite you to consult the directory of available resources at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.votresite.ca\/\">www.votresite.ca<\/a> or contact your CFDC.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Invitation to SMEs: online store workshop <\/strong>Training courses on creating online stores were announced at the event, thanks to a partnership with the Commission scolaire des Samares' Service aux entreprises et \u00e0 la communaut\u00e9 and Formation Qu\u00e9bec en R\u00e9seau.
