    I see in previous years you’ve visited Texas – any thought on returning in the future? My team would be delighted to hear and see you lecture on our digital era. We’re always on the hunt for new things, techniques, tactics, take-aways, and information sharing in general. In this day and age one can never be over prepared. On ward, into the digital sea!

    Thanks – James, E Pick Marketing
