TNG goes virtual

Sometimes, we have to make a virtue of necessity. In view of the spreading SARS-CoV-2 virus TNG started an experiment last Friday, a “Virtual Techday.” This consisted of virtual workshops, presentations and even a virtual “Weekly half-hour,” an informative in-house event hosted by the TNG partners. The Weekly Half-hour had previously been streamed, in addition to the actual presentation. However this was the first time as a purely virtual video conference. Up to 230 colleagues attended simultaneously, applauded via emoticons, and posted comments in the chat.

The feedback on the virtual Techday experiment was extremely positive. However, we are all looking forward to meeting again in person.
