My Team

The Bandzoogle Family

Montebello 2019

Every year Bandzoogle takes all full time staff, and their families on a 4 day all inclusive retreat. Since we are a distributed team, this time is precious. We relax, soak up the sun, brainstorm some great new ideas, and get to know each other's families. It is an important time for us to say thank you to our staff, and their partners and children for lending us their brains and hearts.
