Virtual workshops

Thu, 18 Jul 2019 10:20:00 GMT

Not sure if this has been posted before but are there plans in the future to virtualise some of the presentations from the member meet ups, SIGs and workshops so that those that are unable to attend can still see what happened at a later date?

I know the presentations are available but it would be good to understand the context better and by recording them you'll reach a wider audience

Hi Keith,

Thank you for the message - we are always keen to understand what our members are looking for as part of your membership.

At present, there are no plans to virtualise the meet-ups, SIG's or Masterclasses - BUT we do recognise there are certainly benefits to this approach.

Accordingly, we do intend to start offering short 'webinars' in the near future and are currently exploring the best platform to deliver these. Each webinar will last 40-60 mins and be available here in the member area portal for future reference.

We also have plans to improve the user interface for this user forum during the same period which will reflect more of a LinkedIn 'look and feel' and include access via an app etc.

As we are funded by membership and event revenues only we have to carefully plan where we invest money but are excited by the potential of these new initiatives.

I hope this answers your question?

Regards,

Graham

Hi Graham

Thanks for the response, it does answer my question and sounds like there are improvements coming in the future, but appreciate that there are restrictions because of investment.
