On May 5th, Lyons Consulting Group, the premier eCommerce development and support firm based in downtown Chicago, joined forces with their long-term strategic partner, Magento, to host the first ever eCommerce Forum, an event aimed at educating local business owners on how they can improve their eCommerce website.
The eCommerce Forum was designed to give serious eCommerce businesses and technical decision-makers a general understanding of who Lyons Consulting Group and Magento are, what each does to empower the eCommerce ecosystem and how each can help clients build a profitable online business. The forum began with a presentation by Rich Lyons, CEO and Founder of Lyons Consulting Group, who provided insight into his company. Later, attendees were educated on Magento features and functionalities and then given a full, in-depth demonstration of the Magento Enterprise eCommerce solution. Afterwards, attendees were able to network with Lyons Consulting Group and Magento personnel, and other companies with the same questions and ambitions.
