Hi Folks,

 

My name is Geoff Burke. I am Community Manager at Object First. I am a Veeam Vanguard and Veeam Legend. I was asked to write something about the Veeam Community and do a short video for the Spotlight series. 

 

Being part of the Veeam 100 Community has been truly a transformative experience for me. I was accepted into the Veeam Community as a member of the inaugural Veeam Legends in 2021. Since then I have been lucky enough to renewed numerous times and was also accepted into the Veeam Vanguards.

Make no mistake, the Veeam Community is not about you or me, it is about us! The people you engage with in these communities are top professionals and are very generous when sharing their knowledge. They help you become a better data protection expert and grow. You make friends around the globe and these relationships really to enrich your life.

Most importantly the Veeam 100 community is fun! The yearly summits in either Prague or Berlin are the highlight of the year, where you not only meet everyone in person, but meet them in magical surroundings! 

Yes it does take some effort to become a member, and not everyone has the time or the desire after a full working day to write a blog post or do an IT video, but trust me, when it comes to Veeam you won’t regret it! Make that effort, become a member of the Veeam Community and you will never look back. The photos tell the story!

It's truly inspiring to see such dedication and collaboration within this amazing community. Being part of something bigger, where we share, learn, and help each other, is what motivates me every day.

Being part of this community has already taught me so much and I hope to one day join this program as well, not for recognition, but to give back and contribute even more.

Thanks for it!

Great post and video. I’ve found engaging in the community hub to be a lot of fun, I enjoy helping others wherever I can. I know there’s the Veeam forums and other industry forums, but somehow the format and atmosphere in the community is a lot easier to get involved in for me.

Great content Geoff! This was a very good and insightful summary, but maybe you forget the part with the beer 😅  
Such a good advertise for this community and program! Thank you.

This is definitely one of the best places to engage with the community.  It is fun and easy as well I find too.  Great post and videos.  A must watch for those new to our community.
