Spirit of CriticalRiver OPEN
As we work to make a positive difference for our clients, we also seek ways to enhance the communities we serve. One way we have found to make a difference is through our annual golf tournament. The idea behind this prestigious industry event, CriticalRiver OPEN, is to celebrate our trusted relationships with customers, partners, associates, and industry leaders. It provides visionary technologists and leaders an opportunity to unwind, compete, and win trophies, along with networking opportunities to build personal and professional connections. The event also provides a platform to do good and give back to the community.
And yes! The tournament is also an opportunity to express our sincere appreciation to our customers for making CriticalRiver a part of their growth journey.
