Update from Microsoft...
I was able to join VerbLIT on time on both my laptop and phone. Looked great on my phone. I played around with the buttons to see how they worked. The laptop had low resolution but OK. I know others that couldn't connect in right away or not at all. As Rory said at the end, Microsoft has issues both on the connection and resolution.
I can attest to that. If I was Verb, I'd stick with Amazon. I don't know how many times Teams screwed up early on and now Microsoft 365 Live Events. Teams started out with a limit of 250 users, but actually try reaching that.
That isn't as bad as you can just have another meeting. Try having a Microsoft Live Event with 1,000s of employees that no one can connect in and people really get pissed at the top. I can count the number of times this has happened.
Yeah, I'd stick with Amazon until Microsoft sorts out their issues. At least for big LIVE events. VerbMail wouldn't be an issue in Outlook
My takeaways beyond the technical issues and if you don't get technical issues, ask Facebook, Instagram, etc why they were down all day this week. You would think with all that dough, they could keep the hamster wheels running.
- It was as polished as an Apple event and I've watched a bunch
- Hats off to the shareholders I saw that could make the trip.
- I really, really, really liked the clips from the team members speaking about the products. They did a great job.
- Denise is now the interim COO. Is that because of an acquisition coming up where one of their C-Level will be the Verb COO? Jason Matheny was the COO and now running point on Pulse since June. These are the type of subtle internal moves I was mentioning I was seeing that happen before acquisition(s).
- Anyone catch the images at the end in MarketPlace or was that VerbTV? My head spun around so fast when I saw that. Are they really soon to be customers? Nike ? Who else did you see? Rory did say there would be some names you recognize
- Thank you to the Verb team for the event. Didn't go as planned but you roll with it. This type of even takes a LOT of planning and hard work which I appreciate it. Next year time it so shareholders can come out and see the airshow too or even go Live from Utah!
