HP Marketing Engagement Reminder
Just a
reminder that HP Marketing worldwide is very engaged in helping the Vivit
Chapters and SIGs. HP Marketing is reaching
out to the Vivit Leaders to sponsor and bring content to your Vivit events. We
have been in discussions with HP worldwide and will continue our discussions
with them. In the Americas, we are
aligning the HP Marketing and Sales teams with each chapter and will get these
contacts to you as soon as the mapping is done.
Stay tuned for this in EMEA and APJ.

FAQ (frequently asked question by Leaders)
There remains what appears to be apathy, but only
because the Chapter/SIG member compares the value of participation with the
value of another couple of hours on their own problems. How do we dispel the
apathy that comes from prioritization of how the Chapter/SIG member spends
their time as a Vivit Leader?
Joining
Vivit is about:
- Advancing your career
- Avoiding reinventing the wheel yourself
- A way to acquire knowledge from your peers
which you could use tomorrow
- Building your network for events or future
career opportunities
- Overall, a sound
investment to save time in the short as well as long term
One-hour
Virtual meetings save time and are good options in periods when it's difficult
to schedule local meetings.
Additionally, having sessions in which one of the Chapter/SIG members discusses
their challenges and problems (start with the one which has some apathy) is
another option to plan an event around.

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.
