The Small Business Summit will take place on Friday, April 17, 2015, from 8:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. at The Gwinnett Center in Duluth, Ga.

"A key driver to economic success comes from the growth of our local business community," said Stan Hall, executive director for the Greater Gwinnett Championship. "Small business owners have many competing demands on their time, foremost of which is running a business, and they don't always have the knowledge or skills to successfully market their business online. So with the help of our Champions Tour partners, Web.com, Allstate and Bank of America, we are pleased to help local small business owners continue to prosper and grow while also having the chance to enjoy the Greater Gwinnett Championship experience."
Justin Leedy, director of marketing at Web.com, will lead the discussion at the Web.com Small Business Summit, and will share information and tools that small business owners can use to improve their cash flow; increase their online visibility; and optimize their online marketing efforts.
Topics and content at the Small Business Summit focus on ways small business owners can achieve a successful Internet presence, including the elements of a great website, how to determine if their website is working for them, increasing traffic to their website and business, mobile marketing and decoding how to efficiently market their business on Google, Facebook and Twitter.
"As part of our commitment to give back to the communities we serve, we are pleased to offer this event which is focused on helping small business owners improve their business model," said Leedy. "Every day, Web.com helps millions of business owners address the challenges of building and maintaining an effective online presence that allows their businesses to grow. We expect a lively dialogue covering a range of key, timely topics that small business owners face when tackling this increasingly important digital opportunity."

Points earned in official Charles Schwab Cup events in 2014 determined Bernhard Langer as the Charles Schwab Cup champion, the season-long competition designed to recognize the Champions Tour's leading player.
