Event details
The Blink Institute workshop was a huge step for us. It allowed us to get together, acknowledge our struggles and get the answers we needed. It propelled us out of post-launch through our next set of marketing and IT goals and it’s helped us stay ahead of our technology life-cycle adoption curve.
