[RECAP] ENGAGE 2023: Potential Unlocked

Arsineh

Last week, thousands of you, along with Smartsheet staff came together for our annual conference, ENGAGE: Potential Unlocked to learn, connect and have fun doing it. 

Here are just a few highlights from the week:

Community Champions & Overachievers took the stage:

These program members not only came together during the event and formed connections and friends but they also took the stage to share what these programs and Smartsheet Community means to them. 

Our communities very own @Paul Newcome “#1 Community contributor” took the stage to showcase a WorkApp he and the 10XViz team built.

@SofiRuiz and @Kyle Chipman shared their first-hand experiences on leveraging Smartsheet solutions to bring people together and translate purpose into action. 

@Andria Hoyle and @Chris Mondeau shared their unique perspective on the Overachiever and Community Champion program. 

Meet & Eat sessions hosted by Community Members:

Many of you grabbed lunch and joined in casual conversations around “Best of Engage”, “Driving Smartsheet adoption at your company”, and “Let’s talk Community”. Thank you Meredith Albers, @Michelle Basson, @Jenn Hilber, @Julie Fortney, @Aaron Manley, @David Tutwiler for being incredible hosts. 

Smartpardy, SMARdoku, CommunityFeud and more, oh my!

We enjoyed seeing many of you visiting us at the Community booth (whether Community veterans or new to the platform though these activities you had a chance to learn more about what the platform can offer you.

Last week was the best week. I'm ready to do it again sooner rather than later. 🤩

Monicacraven

Are there anyways to rewatch any conference sessions you missed?

Arsineh

@Monicacraven There's an email coming later today with all the details you need for accessing session recordings.

Darla Brown

@Arsineh I see the On Demand is posted on LinkedIn, but I didn't receive an email. Should I use the link from the post or wait?

Arsineh

Hi @Darla Brown I'll follow up with our team regarding the email but you can go ahead with accessing the content via the LinkedIn link.

I really enjoyed the conference and appreciate the insights gained and all the efforts from everyone to make it such an event.

I have one question though. Will the second keynote be made available for viewing? I really enjoyed Lisa Bodell's session on killing complexity and would like to revisit it.

@Kia Gibbs Agree, Lisa Bodell was fantastic. Unfortunately, a recording of D2 Keynote will not be available.

Kia Gibbs

@Arsineh oh no! Thank you for getting back with me. I will have to reference the blog post and share with my team the best I can. She was an awesome speaker!

Lauren Dominique

I’m so grateful to have gone to ENGAGE 2023 - it was a truly amazing experience!

@Arsineh I have yet to receive the on-demand recordings of the breakout sessions from the event. Any advice on how to get my hands on those would be appreciated! Many thanks.

Was a great time! So was last year! Can't wait for next year!!

Rodrigo Blotte

Does anyone know when are we getting the recorded sessions for those of us that attended ENGAGE 2023? I remember being told we were going to get the recordings of all the sessions but so far I haven't received/heard anything about it.
