A summer series offered by the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce is geared toward small businesses.

The Chamber, along with the Northwest Missouri State University Small Business and Technology Development Center, is presenting the Small Business Tech Series in July and August.

St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce Vice President of Membership Natalie Redmond said the next session in the series will cover how to become more productive with technology tools.

“So just little tips and tricks to make your day more efficient as a person who works in a business or runs a small business,” Redmond said. “Things like, how do I control my temperature when I’m not at work to keep my bills down… apps you can put on your phone, items for your computer, just ways that you can make your life run more efficient as well as your business.”

That session takes place from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesday, July 31, at the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce. In August, a session will be presented on “The Tech (Dis)Connect of Generations.”

“It’s going to get into how Boomers and Millennials use technology and how Gen Xers are in the mix in the middle and how that can cause some controversy and frustration in the workplace,” Redmond said.

That session takes place from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on August 10th at the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce.

The last session, “Viruses and Dark Web: The Business Owner’s Guide to Protecting Your Company,” will be held from 5 to 6 p.m. on August 29, at CoJoe, 518 Felix St.

The events are free of charge. Chips, drinks and cookies are provided and attendees are encouraged to bring their own lunch.
