Get your company into the Oil & Gas (O&G) industry. For the foreseeable future, billions of $ will be pumped into the tri-state area as a result of the Natural Gas extraction that is going on in the Marcellus and Utica Shale Plays.

The O&G Supply Chain is far reaching, and many company owners do not even realize that their company can get a piece of this business.

Some of our presentations are purely educational; some will show you products and services that can help you to get into the industry faster.

This seminar will do the following:

• Discuss a brief history and explain some of the terminology of the industry to you. The first step is “talking the talk”.
• Discuss some of the Supply Chain needs so that you can see if there may be a place for your company.
• Explain to you what you may need to do in terms of safety / environmental certifications and audits.
• Show you how you may be able to jump right into the mix and start doing business right away with companies that are currently in the industry.
• Discuss how many companies are high tech, including using advanced websites and social marketing. We will give you tips and tricks to improve your web presence, and discuss the benefits of social marketing outlets such as Twitter and LinkedIn.
• Present some of the professional organizations that can help you to get to know the industry and players. The social aspect of this industry is a great way to help to grow your business.
• Provide you with some instant opportunities to network with other companies that are either currently in the industry, or also interested in joining the industry.
