<p>Amy Robinson presented an overview of LoCo BC, a new business network working to create a diverse, vibrant local economy by strengthening small and mid-sized businesses, connecting and having fun in the process.</p>
<p>As well as Amy&#8217;s presentation, Kierstin De West of <a href="http://www.conscientiousinnovation.com/" target="_blank">Conscientious Innovation</a> (Ci) presented info on her company&#8217;s latest research intelligence in the area of local and sustainability, and just why it&#8217;s such a hot-button right now.  And I was there to talk about digital media and how best to use it as part of business plan.  <a href="/2009/10/21/loco-bc-presentation-kierstin-de-west/">Kierstin&#8217;s presentation is here</a>,  and I&#8217;ll post my presentations in a couple of days.</p>
<p>Since I was there as a guest speaker, I&#8217;ve put together a screen-cast of Amy&#8217;s  presentation here.</p>
<p>Further down the page you can just grab the audio version, or the PDF (or all three !)</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the screencast of  Amy&#8217;s presentation, which will give you a good picture of what LoCo BC is all about, and <a href="mailto:amyr@telus.net">you should email her</a> after you&#8217;ve watched/listened to it  because I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll want to get involved&#8230;</p>
