The Student Tech Club Experience
The Student Tech Club Experience is the coolest place to arm your student club or student user group with the latest and greatest in technology goods. Check back periodically to find additional benefits offered to your group and its members. And remember, at Student Tech Clubs, it is all about the technology for the students.
How Do I Become a Student Tech Club Member?
Getting started is quick and simple! If you are a Student User Group Leader, tell us a little about your group — group contact information, meetings, etc. After a quick verification process, your group will become a member of the Student Tech Club Experience. Your Student Club will then be displayed on the Student Tech Clubs site for others in your area to find. You will also receive a unique password to distribute to your members so they can associate themselves with your group and gain access to valuable content.
As a member of a user group, after receiving the user group password from your leader and associating yourself with your user group, you will gain access to downloads of special content.
Benefits Of Joining
- Event Content: Microsoft Product Teams have partnered with User Group Support Services to provide content for your event (demos, discussion presentations and other content). We have created a process that enables you to not only directly access this content but engage as well in a feedback process with Microsoft Product Teams on how the content worked for you, and how we can improve it for you. We are counting on your engagement with us, on the feedback you provide to help us improve our content offerings to you and your membership. Without your engagement with us, it will be impossible for us to be successful – together!
- Speaker Repository: To complement the speakers bureaus offered by our associated partners, we have built infrastructure to help support local and regional speakers. This allows UG Leaders to connect with speakers in their own areas so they can always find great presenters to come present and/or attend their meetings.
- Sponsorship Repository: The Sponsorship repository is set up to help groups connect with potential sponsors in their area.
- Event Management and Reporting: Built in event management and reporting system to help UGs manage their attendees, plus have better reporting of their event activities.
- Online marketing materials
- Industry contacts and networking: thru the Microsoft Students to Business program (www.microsoft.com/studentstobusiness/students/default.aspx)
- Development of leadership capabilities: Leading committees, conferences or meetings, organizing events, tutoring, and leading panel discussions and round tables.
