March 4: 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m., 2:10 – 3 p.m., 4:45 – 5:45 p.m.
If you would like to meet with a Techspert outside of these live demo hours, please book a 1:1 appointment with a Techspert at the corresponding Demo Station you have questions about. Don’t miss out on this once-a-year opportunity to speak with the Benevity-ites who live and breathe these products!
Which Benevity products will be showcased?
There are 8 dedicated Demo Stations focused on: Peer Matching, the Benevity App, Missions, Benevity Grants, Versaic by Benevity, Grassroots Engagement in Spark, Spark Content Creation 101 and Spark Content Creation 102: Volunteering.
Check out these products by browsing the Demo Station tab in the virtual platform. Each Station has a short product recording at the top of the page and additional resources.
What should I expect when I join a live Product Demo?
When you join a live Product Demo, you’ll enter a Zoom meeting with Benevity Techsperts who are knowledgeable in that specific product. Think about the setup like you’re at a conference walking past the Demo Stations. There may be some Stations that don’t have any attendees and there may be some that have people surrounding it. Hop into the live demo and be the first one there to ask your questions to a Techspert or join other attendees and listen to their conversations. Either way, you’re bound to learn something! Alternatively, you can also ask questions via the Zoom chat function.
Do I need my video or mic on?
You are not required to have your video or mic on to participate. Settings can be adjusted any time.
I’m not allowed to use Zoom. Can I still join a Product Demo?
Unfortunately, no. This is a Zoom-enabled activity and will require Zoom to participate.
You will be able to log in to the virtual platform to watch sessions and download slides until March 31, 2021.
