All of the INETA Europe Board Members will be available at booth/pod during the conference; schedule will be available week before the conference. Also, Country Leaders and Liaisons that will attend TechEd Europe will be at the booth/pad – so come and meet them!
Do you speaking at TechEd?
Tell us so we can distribute session information to INETA Europe membership! Submit details to: andre.obelink@ineta-europe.org.
Over the past several years INETA, Culminis, and the entire community have stepped forward to make the BOF sessions a valuable and vital part of TechEd. BOF sessions now run concurrent with the conference breakout sessions. In the past, hundreds of people participated in the BOFs and great discussions took place!
Of course, it can’t happen without you proposing and leading the discussions that are important to you, so you need to submit your ideas and (after the BOF team review) it will be available for voting trough the tool that will be communicated to you by INETA Europe in following days!
Watch for the BOF info available just now at Tech·Ed Website here.
This list is subject to change, but there will be wide range of topics covered:
- New Membership: How I can find new User Group? How register my User Group with INETA Europe? Join here after the session!
- INETA Speakers Bureau: How I can ask for the speaker? How I can submit new speaker? How we can start local Speakers Bureau?
- Community Activities: How we can launch our event? What is “Event-in-the box”? Who are people that I can contact regarding organizing CodeCamps?
- UGSS – User Group Support Services – New benefits that are available will be explained, as well as live demonstration of web site! You can sign-up at the booth!
- Live Meeting – Great tool (available to all INETA User Group Leaders) for delivering sessions and connecting distributed user groups, as well as for recording sessions for latter review! Come here and learn how to use or sign-up if you do not have account!
- Submit your own proposal - and be one of the volunteers that will deliver it J
If you are Country Leader, or you have a great Community story to tell and you are coming to TechEd Europe, submit your proposal to tomislav.bronzin@ineta-europe.org.
For those of you that are NOT attending TechEd Europe, we will make possible to record 5-10 minutes with Live Meeting tool and publish it on-line. Submit the proposals to the same e-mail and record the presentation before TechEd Europe begins!
As all of the INETA Europe Board members and some of Country Leaders/Liaisons will be present during the TechEd Europe at the booth/pod, you can meet them, talk with them and give them feedback! Or just come to the booth and introduce yourself, or maybe express the desire to be an INETA Europe volunteer!
Also, we will prepare special INETA Europe on-line survey that is very important to us to see what do you think and feel about the future of the INETA organization!
