Backstory- my company’s full-time function was in IT event production. Long story short, we’ve essentially halted all progress on events right now due to recent circumstances. This gave us the opportunity to pivot toward developing a side project that had been on the back burner for about a year. The idea behind “IT Pack” is to provide a place that IT professionals can get the same kind of peer-to-peer insight and collaboration that usually comes from attending conferences. Love to hear any feedback/constructive criticism about the website!
I like the concept. I think there are going to be several of these types of communities for all types of different disciplines/jobs. I'm going to join this, poke around a bit, and I'll give you some feedback, tomorrow.
I like the idea behind the website - essentially a place exclusively for IT leaders to connect, brilliant. Have you thought about adding a chat function so those people can connect directly within the website? I think that would be beneficial. I like the ability to ask questions and get direct feedback from people in your likeminded area and then see answers (much like this website) so people can learn.
Right now, we don't have direct messaging capabilities, but our developers are working on an asynchronous messaging system that we're hoping to have implemented in the not-too-distant future. The best conversation-style interaction is taking place within the "Ask The Pack" section of the website. If you haven't checked it out yet, you should!
