At Revolent, we’re known for giving back. Alongside helping experienced professionals start an incredible new career in Salesforce, AWS, or Microsoft Cloud, we also like to share knowledge with the communities and ecosystems we work in.
As part of this, we hold regular insightful events on a variety of topics. Our Tech Talks help people get to grips with starting a new career in a particular technology (like becoming a Salesforce Developer) and our Spotlight sessions cover a massive range of hugely interesting topics, such as:
- The experiences of women in tech (and the importance of “paying it forward”)
- Sharing the career journeys of tech professionals from diverse backgrounds
- How to network and stand out in the hiring crowd in the new hybrid work environment
In this blog, we’ll look at some of the Spotlight Sessions we’ve held in the past, show you where you can watch them on-demand, and highlight our upcoming events.
What are the Revolent Spotlight Sessions and where can I watch them?
So far, our Spotlight Sessions have been a smashing success. We’ve heard thoughtful and highly interesting talks from a range of people, including; Barbara Gottardi, a CIO who has worked at leading Financial Services organizations; Barb Borrowman, a Cloud Solutions Architect at Microsoft; and Priya Kurien, an Associate Partner at IBM Consulting.
Most of our events are live, and the Spotlight Sessions themselves are virtual events. So, naturally, they’re attended by a lot of people from different ecosystems and can be a great way to network.
But if you miss them, don’t worry! You can tune in to hear our past episodes on Apple Podcasts.
