Welcome to the brand-new Dscoop.com. We're excited about this upgrade to your online community. We've built it to create more opportunities for you to engage with content, industry experts, and most importantly, your fellow members. Over the next few months we'll be creating some unique opportunities for you to learn and interact in new ways to connect you with ideas to transform your business. Here are a few available right now:

1. CONNECT DIRECTLY WITH FELLOW DSCOOPERS

Have a question about getting into labels and packaging? Want to connect with other marketing pros about an idea? Click on the People section of the site, and filter results by job roles, print technologies, industry segments and more. You can message fellow Dscoopers directly in Dscoop.com, or connect with them by email or LinkedIn.

2. JOIN AN INFORMAL ROUNDTABLE

In the Home section of the site, you'll see informal meetups coming up that are led by Dscoop staff, partners, subject-matter experts and others who simply want to trade their ideas and perspectives. Some attendees of the recent Dscoop Bali Summit tested out the Roundtable feature last week, and chatted about different ways they're applying what they had learned at the event.

3. ATTEND LIVE, ONLINE EVENTS DIRECTLY ON THE SITE

Webinars, online demos and other educational sessions will be held directly on Dscoop.com. Go to the Events section of the site, and register for the first one coming up Monday, Oct. 23, led by Dscooper Scotty Graham of Italic Inc. He's sharing the company's social media blueprint in a live session. You'll also able to register for Dscoop's in-person events here, like the big Edge Indianapolis event coming up in March 2024.

4. READ AND VIEW SPECIAL COLLECTIONS OF CONTENT

Want to see all the virtual site visits or "Unvarnished" interview episodes in one place? Go to the Content section of the site, where you can view special collections of articles and videos organized by topic or theme. Think of these collections like temporary exhibits, surrounded by success stories, interviews, how-to guides, videos and other original material that can help shape your sales, marketing, operations and management strategies. Also, click on any of the "Popular topics" on the right of the Content section to see filtered results by topic.

5. FIND WHAT YOU NEED MUCH FASTER

The new site's search functionality is way better than it was previously. From anywhere on the new platform, your keywords will search the entire platform, including people, content and events. For example, a search for "packaging" will yield trend articles, interviews with experts, event sessions and fellow Dscoopers with packaging experience.
