Data Analytics Virtual Tessitura Users Group (VTUG)

All,

As many of you may be aware, I'm interested in "lighting up data" to help cultural non-profits meet budget and deliver on mission.  In the New York Area, I am super lucky to have many opportunities to meet with Data Scientists, Analysts, Machine Learning Experts from many organizations. These interactions have been both encouraging, and have helped me learn a lot.  Most of the folks I meet are not from cultural non-profit organizations. Most are from large financial services, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, internet startup or academic organizations.

What I feel I'm missing, is consistent opportunities to meet with, learn from, and encourage other Cultural Non-Profit data leaders like each of you.

Over the past few years, I've been interested in more regularly participating in data analytics conversations with my Tessitura Colleagues.  

With that in mind, I'd like to invite each you to a conversation about forming a Data Analytics Virtual Tessitura Users Group (VTUG) within our community.

To gauge interest, and maybe start a bit of planning, I'd like to invite each of you to join me for a formation meeting this coming week.

I've arranged a Go To Meeting conference bridge but, I'd like to know when folks could meet.  So, I've set up a doodle poll to find the most convenient moment for many of us.

Looking forward to a great conversation.

  • All,

    Awesome!!! We had a great turn out for today's Analytics Virtual TUG formation meeting.

    We had so many folks interested that we completely filled up our Go To Meeting connection limit and some folks could not get in.  For that I'm sorry.  To make amends and to get further input, I'd like to do two things:

    1. Hold another formation meeting for those that were not able to attend due to their schedule, time zone, or technical challenges.  We will do this on Friday 9/14/2018 at 3:00 pm EDT.  I'll provide further details in a little bit.
    2. During our formation meeting, we used an "online data capture tool", so I could do some analysis of our feedback.  (Nothing Fancy, just a google form.) . I'd like to invite anyone interested in ATUG who cannot make either of these meeting this week to fill out this very quick survey.  Please complete this by end of day Friday 9/14 your time.

    Thank you all for the interest.  Some of our next steps will include:

    1. Sharing of the results of the feedback about formation.
    2. Gathering together a leadership team to actually plan the first few events.
    3. Moving Planning communication out of this Forum so that folks who are not interested in ATUG will not have to be on this stream of communication.
