There never seems to be enough time in the day to do something extra. The days are filled with meetings and making sure solutions are provided to our customers when they need it. Rocket.Build is the one time of the year when Rocketeers can think beyond their daily work and develop solutions we feel can […]
As a seasoned Rocket.Build participant (I’ve participated every year since its inception), I was initially skeptical when it was announced as a virtual event this year.

COVID-19 has been a sobering reminder of how unprepared we all were, despite the warnings.
