We encourage Team Leads and other interested parties to tune in and introduce themselves. Are you looking for cast or crew? Do you want to join a team? Are you curious about registering a team of your own? Here's a chance to interact LIVE and make it happen!
We Kickoff on May 31st, so don't miss out!
