Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes!
Hey Evolve!
Got some changes this week we wanted to bring to your attention. The first couple are that Brad is on a short vacation this week and we will not be singing in his absence! 😉
MPD UPDATE
Our next change on the list is that we have another update to our toolset this week. We will be updating the domain for the MPD between Wednesday night and Thursday morning. The maintenance window will run from 6PM EST Tuesday to 10am EST Wednesday. By late morning in the US we’ll be using a new domain for the HUB: mpd.connectwise.com.
If you've bookmarked the old URL login page, there will be a redirect in place to push you to the new domain. That said, we highly encourage you to update your bookmark to the new URL or simply visit the HUB Homepage and click the login link called "MPD Login" at the top of the page.
Your same credentials will work and the MFA will be in place as well.
HYBRID MEETINGS
We have a new challenge that all GEOs will likely be tackling in the next few meetings. HYBRID meetings may impact all of us. We want to give a few pointers for all of us to remember as we join a Hybrid meeting that is a bit different from the virtual and the face to face.
First, with this Covid season still about us, let’s be Go-Giving and think about others in our meetings. Be considerate of others, whether they are remote to your meeting or in room. We have covid protocols in all GEOs for the foreseeable future that we have to abide by, so your acceptance, grace and patience as we get through this next gate will be appreciated.
A couple of best practice etiquette behaviors we want to share is that you should always FAVOR the Remote Speaker as they have less context and less presence in the room. One other very helpful best practice is to announce your name before you start speaking whether you are virtual or onsite. The audio we will use should follow you, but it will be delayed, so stating your name allows people to follow the conversation.
IT NATION SECURE:
Last item! You probably saw a post from Brad last Friday about our upcoming IT Nation Events that have been announced for the year – IT Nation Secure, IT Nation Explore, IT Nation Connect APAC and IT Nation Connect in Orlando.
Real important! June 21-23 is IT Nation Secure which will be a hybrid event in Orlando. We are currently limiting the number of in-person attendees to 350 people, so if you would like to attend IT Nation Secure onsite, then make sure to get registered as soon as possible.
That's it for this week! Get ready for some great meetings whether you are virtual or onsite and, as always, stay healthy and lead strong!
