Kingpins24 April – Save the Date

One year ago around this time, Covid forced us to do our first digital show which was the birth of Kingpins 24, a 22 hour marathon event that was both fun and funny to do. The Kingpins team learned a lot about what to do and what to never do again.  Now a year later and we are veterans at these things and just saying that is funny all over again.

In April there will be three days of free events, for all viewers.  Day 1 is Inspiration Day for everyone who likes to be inspired, Day 2 is Innovation Day while Day 3, April 22nd is Earth Day.  We hope you can imagine what that will be about.  Click here to register.
