What factors have contributed the most to your growth in the past three years?

What are the biggest obstacles to your company’s continued growth?

Do you plan to make any changes to your company?
“We are actively pursuing acquisitions for both our IT and event technology divisions within and outside of metro Milwaukee. We are currently hiring to fill several full-time roles in both Milwaukee and Las Vegas to support the growth we’ve had over the last two years and that we expect in the near term.”
What’s the best business advice you’ve ever received?
