More Rootstech 2016

There had to be some given returns  from 2015's Rootstech success and AJ Jaccobs was one for sure:

 Who would have thought we would all be donning medical masks this year?

 Beng an Ambassador, you get an up close and personal view of the stage and great periphery like this:

 Rootstech is a blast no matter what year you decide to go - just make the most of every opportunity and encounter with every one you can meet!
