CDW event Bucks up Educational Entertainment!
By The VALT Team
The CDW sales team was treated to a “Wild Wild West” inspired experience for the Microsoft sponsored room at the Nottawasaga Inn & Conference centre.
Cowboys and cowgirls were offered up a nostlalgic saloon to enjoy the festivities, trimmed with red and white gingham, rawhide and burlap, tricked out with bucking bronco and were even tested in their interactive cow-milking contest.
Although the weekend was filled with content and much activity, sales team s were able to learn more about Microsoft and CDW partenerships and programs, and still get in a quick ride on the bull.
Yee-haw!
