RECAP: Local Biz Camp – Dallas

RECAP: Local Biz Camp – Dallas

Local Biz Camp presented by Skills After Service was in Dallas on August 9th at the WeWork in Victory Park. The space was gorgeous and everyone loved having free coffee, espresso and cappuccino (our participants are loving the WeWork spaces!) Hosted by Biz Camp founder, Julie Niehoff, topics covered marketing, management, money and mindset. We’re headed to San Antonio and Houston next – stay tuned!
