Join our March webinar and take your communities to the next level

04/03/2021 News by Jan Valdman

Hi,

today we are happy to bring you some details regarding our first online event in this year – which will take place on March 16 3pm CET! Let us connect together to hear some news regarding WHAT from HCL. We are thrilled to learn more about the next release of Connections later in this year and how it will meet your expectations.

Our main speaker will be Fabio Gervasoni from HCL design team, who will show us how to create attracting and engaging communities.

Take your Communities to the next level

Connections 7 offers new ways of tweaking and customizing the homepage layout of your community and new capabilities made possible by new Connections templates. In this session, Fabio Gervasoni, head of the HCL Connections Design team, will share design tips and best practices on developing Communities that are suited to your needs, attractive and engaging for your specific audiences.

Fabio Gervasoni joined the HCL Digital Solutions team in January 2020. An experienced graphic designer, Fabio covered different roles ranging from traditional print design and art direction to UX and UI for web and mobile, both agency and in-house. In his current role at HCL he is leading the Connections and Sametime design teams, refining the user experience and look and feel of these key tools in the HCL’s product portfolio.

The second speaker will be John Immerman who will tell us all about the Connections Advocacy Program

Last but not least, the event is open for all members of the community so if you have something to tell, give us a shout – we can arrange a short timeslot for you. We would also like to discuss our plans for the September conference in Madrid – do you still remember that we have got an amazing venue, huh? We need your feedback regarding your expectations and possibility of international travel.

Please register for the event HERE in order to receive the webinar link. The event is free!

We are looking forward to see you soon.

Maria, Wannes, Matteo, Martin and Jan

Introducing a global program for super users of HCL Connections

13/01/2021 News by Maria Nordin

There are lots of initiatives to connect people who work with HCL Connections. But none targeted directly to super users of HCL Connections within organisations. Heitkamp & Thumann is using HCL Connections as their collaboration platform, and they have for a while been running a ‘guide’ (super user) program with good results.

From their experience with running this initiative we would like to explore what options there are to bring together their guides with guides, champions, super users from other programs. Maybe to just have someone sit in on one of their (virtual) meetings to have some exchange of thoughts or to talk about the challenges they run into when trying to get their colleagues to expand their usage of the platform and maybe just to exchange some tips & tricks. All ideas are open and welcome.

While most other initiatives might connect those at the top, the admins, organizers, community managers, architects, this initiative focuses directly on the people who uses HCL Connections most.  There are so many more who use the product and never go to conferences, virtual events etc. Not because they can’t, but because they think it’s not for them or too technical or just not in their job role. But many of them, and especially those that act as champions, super users, ambassadors or guides would really benefit from hearing how others are doing things.

So if you are a guide, internal HCL Connections champion, super user, ambassador for HCL Connections within your company (named as such or just because you do it) or run an adoption program and have them, or would simply like to start one; join us for the session where we try to come up with ways to set this up. The session is in English and open to all.

Date: 21st of January at 4pm CET

Meeting id is: https://ht-group.zoom.us/j/96572564480

13/01/2021 News by Wannes Rams

Hi all and a happy New Year from the Let’sConnect team,

We sincerely wish you all the best for 2021 and we hope that this can be the year the world goes back to normal ( if it ever was).

We have some exciting announcements to make so let’s get started:

  • First of all, we have secured a venue for our fall event and are keeping that booking for now in the hope that by the end of September we will be able to meet in person. The dates that are booked are
    27-28 September 2021!
    MadridObviously, these plans are subject to change and will largely depend on the pandemic situation and your willingness to travel
  • Second of all, 2020 has learned us that virtual events are the thing and we did one successfully. So we want more!
    We will be holding a bi-monthly virtual meeting where we will invite speakers to talk to us about Connections and were we will have the opportunity to discuss amongst the participants.The schedule we are looking at would start in March (day to be decided)

    The goal is to have a mix of content. Adoption, Use cases, technical sessions, HCL sessions, ….. We are looking for content and speakers. So please contact us if you have an interesting topic to discuss. Reach out to your favorite Let’sConnect team member, mail us ( team@letsconnect.world), tweet @_lets_connect, ….

Let’s make it a great year together!!!!

Let’sConnect Virtual 2020 is over! The event was a real success and we are very happy for all the good feedback we have received from the attendees and speakers. It feels great that the community showed up, took part, asked questions and participated in polls from the speakers.

A real good feeling to see so many familiar names in the attendee list, and also so many new ones!

We are also pleased with the content that our speakers provided, we know it can be tough. Especially now in these times!

We have been working fast to get all presentations and replay videos published. Please also see our other blog posts where we share poll results, and the Q&A from the sessions.
