We had about 15 people in attendance and it was a great meeting.
We covered most of the stuff we set out to – Robbie’s presentation was fantastic & we’ll definitely be doing more Workflow Sessions in the future.
We also made some plans for future meetings, so look for that news coming soon.
Thanks again to all who attended and stay tuned for more!
