Industry Topic Dicussions coming up

Last week was active and interesting – we initiated Industry Dicussions in the areas of: M&A, Sales & Marketing, and Project Management – you will be able to see some of these new discussions in a week.

All these discussions are planned as a series, which means they will have multiple parts –easier for you to pick up, and easier to fit into the busy schedules of our contributing professionals.

We are going to arrange all these Industry Topic discussions in the Blogs section of our site: http://www.myorbit.tv/blogs/

Some of these discussions will be available to invited members only because of the wish of the contributing executive. And that is equally fine because MyOrbit.tv can be used both for public and private sharing of business experiences.

By end-June, we plan to feature about 8 industry groups (each group having a few blogs in it) that are created and run by our members – for their business or knowledge sharing.  Meanwhile, if you have any questions or want something to be discussed on this blog, write to us at: connect [at] myorbit.tv
