Entrepreneurs and job-seekers in central Illinois can mark their calendars for December 3 and 4, 2018. Facebook is bringing a two-day workshop to Springfield.

Doug Frisbie, Facebook’s global marketing director for small businesses, says the goal is to show businesses how to use the social media platform.

Facebook’s Community Boost program will also happen in St. Louis and Des Moine. More details about the Springfield event will be released early this fall.
