Do you feel like you’re scrambling to keep up with all the new IT products, terms, viruses, hoaxes etc. and still you don’t know what’s being said by the kids or those hip seniors?

The problem with this coping mechanism
A great day full of fruitful connections was had at the Bank of Montreal Chinatown Branch Small Business Trade-Show. It’s Your Time was invited to attend to provide BMO’s Small Business clients some information about social media and how they could start effectively using it to engage their customers.
