Today VMUG will launch the VMUG Engage, a new program (in a gamification form, like the CloudCred initiative) that allows to earn points every time you participate in the VMUG community.
Whether you register for a User Conference, attend the Virtual Event, post in a discussion forum or connect with another user, you’re earning points!
Once you have collected 300 points in each category, you will earn the “VMUG.com Guru,” “Virtual Mastermind,” and “Networker” badges.
These points will, in turn, translate to badges of recognition, which will be displayed on your MyPage profile for other members to see.
