Register for the September 8 meeting.
This year’s theme for ITKAN has been Transformation. Whether of yourself, your professional role or job, or the technologies that our experts have presented like artificial intelligence, machine learning or virtual reality.
In fact, for the past several months members of our advisory team have worked with a forward-thinking company that’s building the next-generation of products for the Metaverse and VR. Virbela has created solutions for school, work, meetings, conferences and more that are deeply immersive and transformative. They have been generous in enabling and training us to take advantage of their virtual campus and a private room with an array of functions that presenters can utilize to create a “like being there” experience for us.
They will also soon be releasing new accessibility features to both their avatars and virtual campus. While Virbela knows that building full accessibility features is an ongoing process, we are impressed with their mindset and interest in welcoming everyone to Virbela.
Before our maiden Virbela/ITKAN presentation in October, we need to strengthen our community first and we’re asking you to download the app on your desktop or laptop and create your avatar. Even if you’re new to immersive VR environments (and most of us are!), I promise this is a fun and highly communal environment and Virbela staff are wonderfully supportive and don’t judge.

We have a standing informal get together on each Wednesday from 5-5:30 or 5:45pm just to get comfortable on campus and with your commands. We’re also holding an Open Members meeting on September 8th starting at 5:30. The advisory team will hang out and collect the group and then either head to our private space or explore the campus a bit and then head up. Please join us for either or both and get transformed!

ITKAN has been a community since 2008 that takes care of its own, and we’re proud of that. Members have secured 1st careers, transitioned careers, and made life-long friendships. We are perpetual learners and active community members, and through ITKAN and it is our hope that with the focus this year on transformation it will help us to continue this legacy.
