Summary of the AVF May Vertical Coffee Break

On May 5th, AVF held the first virtual Vertical Coffee Break for Members!

Our virtual coffee breaks are a space to connect with other members in a relaxed setting. The event is a great opportunity to network , share ideas and questions, and find new partnerships. You can discuss projects , hear news directly from your colleagues and talk about your challenges.

And our first coffee break was a relaxing and productive round of introductions and idea generation. Using technology to bring people together for free-flowing conversations is important in these challenging times.

There were participants from across the world including India, Europe and the US bringing expertise from across a rane of time zones together for knowledge sharing.

By the conclusion of the coffee break there were a number of opportunities and further actions/conversations that had been identified:

  1. Exploration of new AVF-industry collaboration plans
  2. Pursuing public-private partnerships in certain countries
  3. Meeting the VF/CEA knowledge and training needs in hot spot countries through the AVF Academy
  4. Plans for a meet-up at June’s Green Tech event in Amsterdam (Netherlands)
  5. Additional key presentation topics and ideas for the AVF Summit in Munich (Germany) 3-4 September

 

Look out for the next AVF Virtual Coffee Break coming in July, 2025.
