#CITRIX GOTOMEETING HOW TO#
#CITRIX GOTOMEETING SERIES#

вЂњWithout the power of social networking backed up by the flexibility of Citrix collaboration solutions, we could not have generated the enthusiasm or achieved the success to-date in so short a timeframe,вЂќ Rose believes.

The money raised for вЂcharity:waterвЂ™, for example, has already enabled 55 wells to be built in three countries. As a result, events have taken place in more than 200 towns and cities, including 28 in the UK and more than 30 in the US. The involvement of Citrix Online Services Division also provided local organising groups with an additional level of credibility in generating support. вЂњBy working together, we can make changes instantly, confident that those holding events understand what to do and can respond in the same way,вЂќ says Rose. The ability to share documents has meant that Twestival has been able to develop translations quickly to bring on board new cities, as well as providing supporting information for the website. Rose has been able to work jointly on projects and collaborate in real time. And here, Citrix has proved to be the perfect partner, as the tools are simple to set up and extremely easy for participants to use, the result being that we have seen a very high level of usage.вЂќ вЂњManaging this explosion of events worldwide could only happen if the tools were easy to use,вЂќ she confirms, вЂњas we needed to sell the concept of collaboration and the value of sharing in order to support our 3,000-strong volunteers to achieve our mutual goals. вЂњWe found these to be the perfect tools for mobilising support in a very short time frame, typically just a few weeks before the event,вЂќ says Rose. At the same time, GoToMeeting was used at a number of levels to share best-practice ideas and provide on-going support.

Twestival selected GoToWebinar as the best way of providing expert advice to local organisers on how to set up and run fundraising events. Working with Citrix Online Services Division, we immediately saw how online collaboration could make this happen, by providing the means to communicate effectively with volunteer groups looking to set up local events.вЂќ

вЂњFrom small beginnings, news of what we were doing at Twestival quickly went viral and a new level of organisation was essential to channel this huge groundswell of enthusiasm into a co-ordinated series of events on the same day. вЂњOurs is a grass roots movement generating a series of single-day events by people looking to вЂput something backвЂ™ in helping those less fortunate than themselves,вЂќ she says. This has enabled the implementation and development of a coherent worldwide event strategy, improving the development of project ideas and activities.ДЇounded in 2008 by Amanda Rose, Twestival utilises the power of social media to mobilise communications in support of charities and other good causes.

Twestival, the not-for-profit organisation, has organised four global campaigns raising $1.75 million in support of global and local charities in just over two years, with the help of social media and collaboration tools from Citrix.
