Bluenotes APAC CoP Meetup: May 26
Tuesday, May 26th 2026, 11:00 PM - 11:59 PM
Eastern TimezoneDuring our recent APAC Summit, we committed to providing you with an opportunity to connect with other institutions across APAC and to learn more about our products and services. We heard from you that some used to attend the ‘drop-in’ call while others participated in the Bluenotes community, with many of you not being aware of the two groups.
As a result of your feedback, commencing 26th May 2026, we are relaunching our APAC Community of Practice Meetups, which will see the merger of the community meeting and ‘drop-in’ call. We warmly welcome all institution partners in APAC to join the call.
These regular meetups will provide a collaborative platform for you to connect with your peers across the region, share best practices, and stay up to date on product enhancements and what’s coming next from our team. The first half will follow a structured agenda, including a topic requested by the community. This will be followed by an agenda item from Explorance and unstructured Q&A, to be facilitated by members of the Explorance APAC team.
Please specify the topics you want to discuss together as a community as you register or on the community discussion forum community discussion forum.
