Mayor’s Business Day Attracts Hundreds
By Aman Chabra, Local News 8 Reporter
IDAHO FALLS – It wasn’t your everyday job fair.
Each year, Idaho Falls Mayor Jared Fuhriman holds events for businesses and job seekers to network and further their contact base.
Monday was the first time the Mayor’s Business Summit was combined with the annual Job Fair and Business Connections events.
The event started with a speech from Governor Butch Otter at the Civic Auditorium.
Business Day continued with experts from the Department of Labor and regional economists participating in a panel discussion about the current state of the local economy.
“Right now, Idaho Falls has replaced the Treasure Valley as the most stable economy in Idaho,” said Roger Madsen, Director of the Idaho Department of Labor.
Down the hall from the Civic inside the gyms of Idaho Falls High School, local businesses came out in droves for the other portion of Monday’s event.
In the large gym, dozens of businesses set up booths as part of the annual Greater Idaho Falls Camber, Area Business Connection.
“This is a really important event for us, because some businesses don’t know they may need our services until we talk to them,” said Brian Ziel, Account Manager for Web Impakt, a locally owned and operated web page design business.
Web Impakt has been in operation for the past four years, and have already created web pages for the City of Idaho Falls, and are currently working on an upgrade for Snake River Landing’s web address.
“You have to put yourself out there, and just in the first five minutes, we’ve had a lot of leads and made some great contacts,” said Ziel.
Monday afternoon saw the start of a job fair which also saw hundreds of people stop by looking for valuable face time with local businesses.
“We have had some great response, and we hope it will help is finding people jobs, and stimulating our economy,” said Mayor Jared Fuhriman.
More than sixty businesses were on hand for Monday’s event.

It was really cold, so were had big coats on and Lindsey, in particular, looks like a fat alien. 
She had three coats on.
We have finished up a very complex penny auction site called lincolnbidz.com. We are going to be doing a beta test today to make sure all the kinks are worked out before things get crazy!
Google Apps is very powerful. Today they increased the power by allowing users to share folders in Google Docs. Now you can be even more organized and share groups of docs instead of just one at a time! Additionally, Google docs now allows you to upload multiple items to Google Docs instead of a time consuming one at a time.
A while ago I was watching my lead developer looking for a business in a phone book. This is an intelligent man, somebody who I have a lot of respect and admiration for, so I was curious when I walked past his office and saw him flipping the pages back and forth, a puzzled and determined look on his face. Naturally I asked what he was searching for, at which point he looked up, and with a frustrated sigh, barked out “I’m looking for a business I can’t find online.”
It wasn’t very long ago that a phone book was the only way to find the businesses that you cared about. The ones that were close enough to you to actually provide the goods and services that you were interested in. But now, for a growing number of people, the phone book sits gathering dust, a relic of a bygone era that sits on our desk or in our kitchen, patiently waiting to be used as a booster seat or to level out a broken table.
