Is It Time For A Technology Tune-up?

Following are five tips to help ensure that you are prepared for a successful 2014.

Plan Now For CPE & Ski 2014
K2 Enterprises' annual CPE & Ski event is set for January 13 through January 15, 2014. As in 2013, CPE & Ski 2014 will be held in historic Breckenridge, Colorado at the Beaver Run Resort and Conference Center, a premier ski-in, ski-out facility at the base of Peak 9. This venue makes CPE & Ski more accessible and affordable for participants, while retaining the ambiance and world-class skiing opportunities for which the event is known.
