Prepare for high intensity interaction

The Viva Engage Festival complements the lively discussions in the Viva Engage Customer Community. This is your opportunity to strengthen those relationships and build new ones.

We’re running the event as a Microsoft Teams meeting to allow people from different organisations to participate. We aim to make the chat component super active, so many voices can be heard. Speakers are there to prompt conversation in chat. Video on. Chat on. Be prepared to unmute.

All sessions are recorded.

 We’ve heard from customers like you, that you want to connect and learn from the Viva Engage community of customers that exist across the globe. This is a great opportunity to showcase your success and learn from others in the community. We look forward to seeing you all at the festival!
