Back in the Saddle again, as Gene Autry would say


It’s not every day that your company flies you halfway across the country for a weeklong workaday. But if there’s one thing that BOCA isn’t, it’s traditional.

For a full week, BOCA lived together, ate together, and worked together, hitting Texas by storm. Between our day-to-day work, site seeing, team bonding and endless piles of barbecue, we truly had an action-packed week. 

For us members of the SF office, it was a real treat to work alongside our talented Austin team, exchanging ideas and learning from each other, while moving our clients forward in real-time.  Off the clock, we were treated to some good ol' southern hospitality at some local hangouts, including (poorly) attempting the Texas Two-Step at The White Horse honky-tonk. Our favorites included the quaint Rainey St, the hidden gem Salt Lick BBQ and Cellars, and the picturesque view of the river we got from venturing to the top of Mount Bonnell.

Our trip brought us even closer as a team and reminded us that together, we can make an impact that is greater than the sum of its parts. And in many ways, I think that we saw a lot of ourselves in Austin.  Austin is an energetic, diverse, vibrant city, constantly changing and hungry for innovation. We can’t wait BOCA Austin to visit SF!
