Join CWS Office Solutions on Friday, April 14 for a complimentary Lunch & Learn at the Parkersburg Country Club where you will interact with industry experts and gain valuable insights for your business.

CWS Office Solutions invites you to their upcoming event to learn about the most impactful actions you can take to protect your business against cyberattacks, drive efficient document management, and promote the health and safety of everyone in the company.

Topic: What every business leader needs to know about office technology. There will be booths setup to showcase document management, cybersecurity, and water dispensers.

Josh Boyce, Director of Operations, will educate Chamber members on what every business leader needs to know about office technology. You will learn how the latest office technologies can protect and grow your business. 

Are you aware of the risks cyberattacks pose against your company data? Have you considered the lost time due to inefficient document management or outdated copy machines? Cyberattacks, painful document workflows, and worker comp claims happen in all industries, and all small and medium-sized businesses. Many organizations underestimate their risks and costs associated with these areas. It's time to consider the risks and prepare.

The technology expo will be held from 10am-3pm. The Lunch & Learn Session will take place from 11:30am-1:00pm.
