UPB Holding Marcellus Shale Webinars
The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford’s Office of Outreach Services will hold a series of four 90-minute Web-based sessions called “Your Business & Marcellus Shale: Voices of Experience” beginning Jan. 27.
Sessions take place from 8 to 9:30 a.m. Jan. 27 and Feb. 3, 10 and 17 in Room 162 of Swarts Hall on the Pitt-Bradford campus. There is a cost of $20 per webinar, which includes continental breakfast. Attend all four for $70.
The series will help entrepreneurs and established small- and medium-sized businesses understand and reply to Marcellus Shale-related business opportunities.
Individual session topics are: Jan. 27, “Local Business Success Stories and Lessons Learned, Part 1”; Feb. 3, “Working with the Industry: Natural Gas Company Perspectives”; Feb. 10, “Local Business Success Stories and Lessons Learned, Part 2”; Feb. 17, “Partnering – Industry and Local Business Panel.”
“We had a series like this in the fall, and it was so successful that we decided to host the second series as well,” said Ann R. Robinson, director of the Business Resource Center at Pitt-Bradford. “In this follow-up series, businesses and entrepreneurs who are already taking advantage of opportunities from Marcellus shale activity will share their real-world experiences of working within and for the natural gas industry. The panelists will discuss what they’re looking for from both local business partners and how to establish such business relationships.”
The series is co-sponsored by a group of universities, chambers of commerce, local planning commissions and regional economic development boards from across the commonwealth, with leadership from Penn State Cooperative Extension.
Presenters and panelists include successful local businesses, natural gas industry representatives and experts from Penn State.
