Touchplan Partner Newsletter | November 2021

Hello Partners!

Welcome back to Touchplan’s Partner Newsletter – it’s been an exciting month with lots of great new things to share with you.

It was amazing to see so many customers and partners at the LCI Congress event a few weeks ago in Phoenix! Let us know what conferences you are attending in 2022 – we would love to discuss co-sponsoring cocktail parties with you or help with specific marketing collateral for your event.

As always, I value your feedback so let me know if you have any comments or suggestions on what you would like to see or hear from me and the team!

Have a wonderful November!
