A Hybrid Event Combining Education and Golfing for Charity —
Windstream believes in keeping their teams up-to-date on the ever-changing ICT industry. Toward that end, the ISE Team helped them create a Windstream Live TechSeries Educational Event this spring in South Carolina. Over 200 team members immersed themselves in educational seminars on topics including 5G developments, the evolving customer experience, data center and web scale transformation, and network evolution.
After a day of soaking in the latest technology updates, they hit the links to raise money for the charity Fostering Great Ideas. Windstream, its participating employees, and its vendor partners, put their money where their values are, raising over $25,000 for FGI.
Talk about a 2-day grand slam!
