MiniBar Workshop Series: Business Tool Box

Minibar and its parent operation Open Business have always been about new ways to do business, and many of the start-ups showcased at their monthly meet-ups have been right at the edge of technology - for example at Minibar on the 26th of this month, the featured start-ups will be showing off their Augmented Reality applications. But there's more to running a business than the initial idea - real life business skills are needed to transform innovation into a going concern.

In that spirit, Christian and his team are launching the MiniBar Workshop Series, a series of evening tutorials for the tech entrepreneur to help them get to grips with the practical skills needed to run a business. There are five workshops lined up, each 3 hours long starting at 6.30pm. The series begins on the March 10th with Search Engine Optimization and Analytics:
