Testimonials

"Really loved getting to meet so many people in different parts of the industry and found the overall vibe of the workshop to be very inviting, inclusive and supportive. Would recommend this workshop to any of our in house candidates that are career oriented and could benefit from pulling back the curtain on the bigger picture of vendor - die maker - box producer relationships. The presenters were knowledgeable and engaging and TAVO was a great host plant."
