If you work with user groups or plan SharePoint events, then you might find helpful tips in this recent SharePoint Pod Show Community Panel. If you haven't participated in any SharePoint events yet, this episode will give you a flavor of the SharePoint community and some ideas on how to connect.

 

The panelists provide tips on how to meet the needs of diverse members and to help get members to interact. As a participant in my local Puget Sound SharePoint Users group, for example, I know our leadership tries to balance the agenda and build in time for people to mingle.

 

One size doesn't necessarily fit all for user groups, though, so I like how the panelists provide a variety of tips from their own experiences.

 

The panelists also talk about SharePoint events, including SharePoint Saturdays, which are free training events in several cities.

 

If you don't live near a user group or can't make it to events, don't worry. This episode also covers ways to connect online, such as through social media outlets, virtual user groups, and other online screencasts and meetups.

 

Cheers,
