Discover 2015 London – recap of activities for
Vivit members and leaders
For many Vivit Leaders
the Discover week in London started with a celebration at the restaurant
"Top-1-Forever” for the Vivit Leader Dinner. We had a wonderful time together, meeting
new people while enjoying dinner, talking business and last but not least recognizing
our Award Winners!
Award winner Stevan
Zivanovic, receives the Vivit Leader of the Year 2015 EMEA/APJ Award.
Names of the other
Award winners are:
Toine Jenniskens – Speaker of the Year 2015 EMEA/APJ
Andreas Birk – Champion of the Year 2015 EMEA/APJ
Jan Czajkowski – Top Virtual Contributor 2015 EMEA/APJ
Vivit has several leaders who are doing an
outstanding job, volunteering their time and growing the community by
organizing local or virtual events and sharing their knowledge, going above and beyond. Because we
appreciate all the efforts of our volunteers, we recognized several Elite
Leaders with certificates. The
recipients included Mark Laird, Richard Bishop, Cheikh Sadibou Deme, Stevan Zivanovic, Andreas Birk, and Vadim Gordadze.
On Tuesday, December 1st
the Discover show opened and Vivit had a great booth. Our theme this year was: Vivit’s the Ticket - Your Ultimate HPE Tour
Guide.
The booth graphics were the landmarks of London and wealso had two English
guards to support us (and help scan badges)!
We also had a guru bar
where interesting presentations were given in a roundtable format and where
lively discussions took place. The first session was a
Leader Training with representation from Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the
United States; both Chapters and SIGs! Thank you for your participation. For those of you that were unable to join us, here is a link to the slide presentation:
LEADER TRAINING
We could not have done
it without the support from all the Vivit Leaders who volunteered to help in
the booth. Talking to the show attendees, telling them about the benefits of
Vivit, and sharing knowledge; they did it all! A big THANK YOU to all who
helped us for one or more hours!
We hope to see you in
Las Vegas!
Leader Brochure
Vivit has updated our leader brochure to give
you a comprehensive tool for recruiting Vivit members into leadership positions
whether that be as a chapter or SIG leader or even a future Board member! Share this brochure with your Chapter and
SIGs to encourage them to take a look!
The testimonials from Vivit leaders demonstrate the benefits gained both
personally and professionally. Thank you
for all that you do for our Vivit community.
