As an NREN, a working group, or as an individual, we do a lot of things: we create, engage, connect, inspire, collaborate, fix, work, break, learn, innovate, support, solve problems, adapt, grow, win, and sometimes fail. In this session you will learn how to share our successes more effectively and examples how it has been done right. By doing this, we can make sure our hard work gets noticed and has a bigger impact and becomes more visible, helping us build a stronger and more connected digital community.
