SUMMARY:Commercial Leasing Checklist For Businesses
DESCRIPTION:The commercial Lease checklist will point out provisions to which a prospective small business tenant should pay particular attention.  The terms lessor and landlord will be used interchangeably. \nCommercial leases come in many sizes and shapes\, from the three- or four-page mom-and-pop simple lease to the 40 to 50-page complicated lease with multiple addendum and attachments that are usually attendant to high rises\, malls\, or popular upscale areas.  The small business owner will frequently be presented with a form lease developed by a landlords’ association with blanks for rent and the term on the first page and many pages of difficult-to-read provisions thereafter.  You are likely to be told that it is standard and the provisions are non-negotiable. Have a lawyer or a broker that only represents you review it first. \n\nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:WEBINAR Opportunities in the Metaverse-How Businesses can Explore and Navigate the Hype Vs. Reality
DESCRIPTION:Are you kidding me? Gen Zers spend over 12 hours a day living in the virtual world—that’s six hours more than they spend with their friends…. And why should you care?  Because the technology and VR/AR capability behind these virtual worlds has been converging in such a way as to create a set of interconnected & immersive 3D experiences in the digital space we call the Metaverse… \nCrazy\, no?  Well\, it may not seem so crazy when we see that. Since 2020\, in two years the industry is on target to reach $800B by 2024 and is on track to reach upwards of $16T by 2030. It’s not surprising that the metaverse has now stretched into nearly every industry from real estate to gaming\, to fashion\, events\, financial services\, and education. \nAnd\, if that’s not proof of its importance—let’s not forget the bold move CEO Mark Zuckerberg changed “Facebook’s” name to “Meta” in Oct 2021 to announce to the world its changed focus to the metaverse.  Ever since this announcement—Zuckerberg has positioned Facebook as a metaverse company first and a social media/Facebook company second specializing in stepping beyond the physical world simply through a pair of glasses and virtual avatars. \nCome join Debbie Goldfarb as she explains “the who\, the what\, the how” of the metaverse and just exactly how important it will become as a marketing strategy for businesses wanting to be brand ambassadors today and tomorrow. It’s an exciting new world and it’s time to learn about what they are calling the next Internet.  Prepare to have your mind blown and understand just exactly why leading market research companies say that at least 25% of people will spend at least an hour a day in the Metaverse by 2026.\n\nInstructor: Debbie Goldfarb \n\nREGISTER NOW
