The PUG Challenge Tour — starting with Americas in Manchester, NH, followed by EMEA in Barcelona, Spain — will be action-packed, especially for the Roundtable team. In this “insider’s guide,” Director of Business Development Jaclyn Barnard breaks it down for you — who you will find, where, and doing what. (Spoiler: It won’t be all about Roundtable all of the time.)
Being from Southern California where the landscape is characteristically brown all year with occasional splashes of green in the winter, Fall had quickly become my favorite season in my new home state of Tennessee where the landscape features rolling hills, rivers and streams, and deciduous trees that change colors.
When PUG Challenge Americas (PUGAM) and PUG Challenge EMEA (EMEAPUG) both announced, as a result of different circumstances, that their conference dates were changing — one from June and the other from November — to both in October, I actually heard my heart breaking: “No, not October.”
Yet location is a silver lining.
- What’s better than experiencing Fall colors in Tennessee? Experiencing Fall colors in New England.
- What’s better than experiencing Fall festivities on America’s Favorite Main Street? Experiencing Fall festivities on the street, La Rambla, in Barcelona.
As we all know, both events are consistently Progress’s social events of the season, so I’m all in! Check out our action-packed schedule.
