BrightTALK Summits

Vivit is using the webinar platform, BrightTALK, www.brighttalk.com, in addition to the Go To Meeting platform. The BrightTALK platform holds specific topic Summits. The Summits would have you organize a one hour webinar w/ presenter(s) (40-45 minute presentation and 15-20 minutes for questions), just the same as a Vivit webinar. If you are interested, please contact Stephanie Konkoy (stephanie_konkoy@vivit-worldwide.org) or Annemarie Stuiver (annemarie_stuiver@vivit-worldwide.org) and tell us which Summit you would like to participate in and/or if you have any questions.
