​I have been working with BAGT at LinkedIn for over 5 years. They orchestrate thoughtful and meaningful themed trips and tours and always have a knowledgeable guide that leads the conversation. It is clear that they value and maintain relationships with all of their partners. I have no doubt that their future virtual team experiences will continue to be thoughtful and cover important topics, but I'm also hopeful that we can all get out on the farms and ranches again soon!
