Event: WebsiteSpark Launch, 20th October – let’s celebrate!

It’s the anniversary of Microsoft’s BizSpark program and Microsoft Ireland are also launching a new initiative, WebsiteSpark, aimed primarily at web based businesses.

1. Visibility through a marketplace and well as connections through marketing and business networking programs

2. Support of all kinds, from tech support and training to a network of other development shops, hosting partners, developers and designers, and

3. Tools to build products for your customers: Windows Server and IIS, SQL Server, Visual Studio, Expression and more.
