Discover 2015 London – recap of activities for Vivit members and leaders

For many Vivit Leaders the Discover week in London started with a celebration at the restaurant "Top-1-Forever” for the Vivit Leader Dinner. We had a wonderful time together, meeting new people while enjoying dinner, talking business and last but not least recognizing our Award Winners!

Award winner Stevan Zivanovic, receives the Vivit Leader of the Year 2015 EMEA/APJ Award.

 

Names of the other Award winners are:
Toine Jenniskens – Speaker of the Year 2015 EMEA/APJ
Andreas Birk – Champion of the Year 2015 EMEA/APJ
Jan Czajkowski – Top Virtual Contributor 2015 EMEA/APJ

Vivit has several leaders who are doing an outstanding job, volunteering their time and growing the community by organizing local or virtual events and sharing their knowledge, going above and beyond. Because we appreciate all the efforts of our volunteers, we recognized several Elite Leaders with certificates. The recipients included Mark Laird, Richard Bishop, Cheikh Sadibou Deme, Stevan Zivanovic, Andreas Birk, and Vadim Gordadze. 

On Tuesday, December 1st the Discover show opened and Vivit had a great booth. Our theme this year was: Vivit’s the Ticket - Your Ultimate HPE Tour Guide.
The booth graphics were the landmarks of London and wealso had two English guards to support us (and help scan badges)!

We also had a guru bar where interesting presentations were given in a roundtable format and where lively discussions took place. The first session was a Leader Training with representation from Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the United States; both Chapters and SIGs!  Thank you for your participation.  For those of you that were unable to join us, here is a link to the slide presentation:

LEADER TRAINING


We could not have done it without the support from all the Vivit Leaders who volunteered to help in the booth. Talking to the show attendees, telling them about the benefits of Vivit, and sharing knowledge; they did it all! A big THANK YOU to all who helped us for one or more hours!

We hope to see you in Las Vegas!

Leader Brochure

Vivit has updated our leader brochure to give you a comprehensive tool for recruiting Vivit members into leadership positions whether that be as a chapter or SIG leader or even a future Board member! Share this brochure with your Chapter and SIGs to encourage them to take a look! The testimonials from Vivit leaders demonstrate the benefits gained both personally and professionally. Thank you for all that you do for our Vivit community.
