This is a WITS Tour event. These events are essentially shop tours at vendors open to WITS members. Unlike normal shop tours, there will be attendees from multiple companies. This creates a wonderful networking opportunity for everyone involved. It also will lead to an improved educational opportunity as the line of questioning from the attendees will come from multiple companies with different challenges rather than the normally focused experience base common with all attendees from the same company. WITS is focusing on education and networking, and these WITS Tours will deliver both.
