There is a number of ways that you can create a sense of community in the blossoming world of virtual events. Some platforms work whereas others leave you wanting more. During the month of June Margo and I have participated in a number of such virtual events and while we are not about to champion ZOOM, it certainly has its advantages. However, the big test of virtual events had to be HPE Discover Virtual Experience and we have to say, it worked really well.
HPE Discover Virtual Experience didn’t provide quite the same level of build-up normally expected prior to such a big occasion. In the past Margo and I would have arrived a day or two before the event and it gave us time to check out the level of participation as we watched attendees lining up to register. Sneak peaks behind the doors to the exhibition hall also gave us clues as to what was being rolled onto the floor to keep everyone entertained. However, being a member of HPE’s Press, Analyst and Influencer community, what HPE provided was invitations to a number of news sessions (under NDA) that helped position all that was to be covered in the event itself.
Unfortunately, NDAs mean exactly that, so early information provided by HPE couldn’t be shared until the following day, but suffice to say I have more than enough material to cover a number of posts during July. So keep an eye out for more information to come and yes, connecting the dots between Pointnext, GreenLake, Ezmeral, as HPE delivers on its vision of Edge to Cloud, delivered as a service that, according to HPE CEO Antonio Neri, “is the right solution for today.”
Intermixed with the formal agenda were a number of ZOOM video conferences that HPE influencers’ manager, Laura Mackay, organized and called “Bloom Networking Events” where each of us was able to talk about items that were of interest just to us. And yes, they were held in good spirits and were fun … and we all enjoyed a kind of informal social even as some of our European colleagues were participating at very unfriendly hours.
This was an opportunity to raise questions about NonStop and I wasn’t shy in checking out GreenLake and NonStop as there is considerable curiosity among the NonStop vendor community about future participation of NonStop within the GreenLake program. More about this to follow in the coming weeks so again, look for more articles, posts and commentaries to appear throughout the summer.
