Wednesday Night Live
Our live event, hosted monthly consists of a panel of our 4 founding members discussing issues that the modern day technician / business owners are facing.
Originally Friday night, but after reviewing our audience traffic, we have moved to Wednesday night.
Topics range from day to day running of a mechanical workshop, customer service, technical discussions, life/work balance and other topics, that we find trending on our Facebook group.
Our audience has the opportunity to ask questions live in this unique round table event. This live event is also converted to a Podcast and posted on to our YouTube channel. For members to watch at a time that suits them.
These events have had over 750 views and 130 comments to the group.
