Virtual Networking

One of the things you told us at PDW 2021 is that you miss networking with your colleagues! DPI heard you and we are pleased to present an exciting new networking event.

Our virtual platform (Wonder.me) will let you move an avatar around the screen to video chat one-on-one with anyone you meet, or join a group discussion on some suggested topics, like Data Analytics, Security or UX as a few examples.

Theme

Networking!  At DPI, we know how important it is to connect with peers having a similar interest in the digital world. In fact, we are a team of volunteers who learn from each other through DPI! We encourage you to come out to our pilot event. Please bring a friend! We look forward to networking with you.

How it works?

You are in control of who you meet, for how long and when you move around to meet others. This allows you to do what interests you, whether that is learning about the newest trends in areas you care about, meeting new friends, or searching for a mentor!

An email, containing the URL and password, will be sent to those who have registered a couple of days before the event.
