2023 Kick Off Party

Jolene Rankin • Feb 03, 2023

What better way to celebrate the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023 than with a kick off party!? Being a remote workforce, Akins IT believes in the benefits of getting our employees together once a month for quality team building. Social gatherings ignite a human connection that just can't be done virtually. These face-to-face interactions allow our employees the opportunity to create stronger relationships with one another, which in turn, creates a healthy team! Whether it's a lunch or activity, we emphasize and acknowledge that these monthly occurrences help our company culture grow. So what exactly did we have in store for our team this month?


To start off the year strong, we rounded the troops for a fun afternoon at Splitsville Luxury Lanes at Downtown Disney. The team shared good food, good drinks, and good laughs. Of course, it wouldn't be Akins IT if there weren't some friendly bets made amongst employees. We got to see everyone's competitive side come out and were pleasantly surprised with their bowling skills! (We think some are secretly in a Tuesday Night bowling league.) To end the night, we made a couple pit stops for a round at Ballast Point and for unique, themed drinks at Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar. It's safe to say this kick off party was a team bonding success! We look forward to what our next outing has in store for us!
