Connecting in the Cloud
The Connecting in the Cloud series is an opportunity to come together in an informal, online setting to discuss challenges you're facing everyday. Registered members will participate in a facilitated brainstorming session around a specified topic, similar to an interest group but without the geographical challenges.
Do you have a session idea or proposal you would like to be considered as a Connecting in the Cloud session? Submit your idea or proposal to the Professional Development Committee for consideration. For Corporate Members interested in presenting a session, see the guidelines below.

Corporate Session Guidelines
Corporate members are a highly valued part of the ETC community and should feel empowered to contribute from a place of equal standing with institutional members. ETC is unique in this dynamic, and our community is stronger because of that balance. Achieving our shared mission is best accomplished through interactions that are supportive, collaborative, and informative rather than commercial or promotional. ETC is a community, not a marketplace, and we ask that all members act in ways that are mindful and respectful of that distinction.
Corporate member led sessions should support technical training, professional development, career advancement, and meaningful contributions to the broader higher education and AV communities rather than narrowly promoting a company or brand. While references to specific products and services may naturally be part of these discussions, they should support the educational value of the content rather than serve as the primary focus. The intent should always be to educate, inform, and contribute as a representative of the larger profession and industry rather than emphasize promotion or competition.
Corporate members are encouraged, though not required, to partner with institutional members in these efforts. AMR, the ETC Board of Directors, and volunteers serving in leadership and committee roles may review sessions and provide feedback or guidance where needed to help ensure that everything offered to the membership reflects the collaborative spirit and professional values that make the ETC community so strong.
