The 6Connex virtual event platform will be fully compliant by the May 25th deadline

Pleasanton, CA / May 22, 2018 – As the only vendor dedicated to innovation in online events, 6Connex today announced compliance with the upcoming GDPR requirements.  The upgrades and modification to the virtual event and environment platform, coupled with the recent announcement of hosting inside the European Union, underscores 6Connex’s leadership as the most secure and reliable platform on the market.

The Global Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into effect May 25, 2018, taking data protection for EU citizens even further than current standards.  All companies who may potentially access or capture data from EU citizens data will need to comply with the GDPR, and any company hosting a virtual event will need to ensure their platform provider is compliant.

“6Connex is committed to helping our customers and partners comply with these important regulations, no matter where their data is from or flows,” said Marc Goodell, EVP Environments & Infrastructure.  “Our Legal, Trust and Privacy teams have approved key platform enhancements that ensure customer and end-user data is managed appropriately.”

The 6Connex virtual events and environment platform will capture consent when customers use the platform registration pages, a critical piece of GDPR. The platform will also track lawful basis of processing and will allow for the withdrawal of consent, access/portability, modification, and deletion.

6Connex will be the only global provider offering virtual event hosting in the US or the EU.

Pleasanton, CA / May 08, 2018 – As the only vendor dedicated to innovation in online events, 6Connex today announced the availability of dedicated hosting of virtual events and environments inside the European Union (EU).  The 6Connex platform is hosted entirely in the cloud, on Amazon Web Services, and is now available on AWS in the US or in the EU.

Data protection within the EU has always been important and the Global Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) coming into effect May 25, 2018, takes further steps to make data even safer for EU citizens. While all companies who handle data will need to comply with the GDPR, European companies face greater hurdles and greater uncertainty when they deal with companies based in the US.  The option to host data on AWS inside the EU will have a significant positive impact on European companies, saving both time and money for internal reviews, security audits and other processes.

“Our European clients have asked for an option to host inside the EU, and we are delivering,” said Mike Nelson, 6Connex CEO. “We are the only global provider with this option, and the only virtual event provider continuing to innovate for our clients.”

The 6Connex virtual event platform will also be fully compliant with the GDPR, helping all customers meet the GDPR for their own data collection and hosting needs.

Pleasanton, CA — October 02, 2017 — 6Connex, Inc., the leader in virtual events and environments, today announced a significant software release focused on learning management.

Traditional learning management systems (LMS) offer a flat, menu-driven experience that simply doesn’t inspire and engage learners. Often complicated to navigate – and complicated to manage – these systems can also lack mobile accessibility, personalization and flexibility. Implementation of an LMS can also be costly and take up to a year to implement.

The 6Connex Learning Management System is a new way to deliver training programs.  A robust module added to any environment license, the new release blends the key tenets of learning management with the engagement and immersive nature of virtual environments.

The 6Connex feature set for learning management enable customers to add powerful e-learning into any virtual environment. Key elements of the feature set include:

Flexible Content Matrix: Organize your training program in the most logical path for your learners.  Group specific activities into Courses; group Courses by Topic; group Topics by Subject, or provide direct access at each level.
Customized Learning Paths: Rules-based course design specifies the order for activities; personalized progress keeps learners on track.
Courses: Design each Course for your specific learner requirements; provide a detailed overview and capture enrollment; enforce prerequisites; select Activities; display learner progress; schedule release and expiration dates.
Activities: Almost any type of content can be an Activity; live or on-demand webinars, pre-recorded videos, documents, quizzes; select your Activities, then set a specific order for your learners.
Powerful Entitlements: Every learner is not the same, so you can assign / expose activities, courses, rooms and even graphics to specific groups of learners.
Quizzes and Assessments: Reinforce key course takeaways and measure learner knowledge with custom quizzes; score, pass/fail, allow re-takes per need.
Notifications & Reminders: Notify individual learners when a new Course is available or assigned; remind learners of progress and completion dates; notify learners upon Course completion.
Deep Metrics & Reporting: Track learner progress with a real-time dashboard and access to 20+ reports; detailed course reports, individual activity reports, chat and engagement reports.

In addition to the above, customers will have access to the full feature set of the 6Connex Virtual Destination platform, including 1:1 & small group chat, public and moderated discussions, integrated social media and gamification, along within an engaging and intuitive virtual environment.  Enterprise organizations will also appreciate the flexibility of permission-based access, security for internal content and virtually unlimited scale.

PLEASANTON, CA June 9, 2017 – 6Connex, Inc., the leader in virtual events and environments, today announced the appointment of Robin Klombers as Vice President of Sales, North America.

Klombers, who brings more than 15 years’ industry experience to the role, will drive new business development and channel relationships in the region. Her primary focus is to add to an impressive roster of customers that spans enterprise, government, biotech, media, associations and other segments.

“Our North America business is already thriving; with Robin leading the charge, we’re looking for explosive growth into 2018 and beyond,” said 6Connex CEO Michael Nelson. “We’re lucky to have such a passionate, experienced virtual events pro joining the team.”

Klombers virtual event experience includes Vice President of Sales and Business Development for INXPO, where she directed all enterprise, government, non-profit, media, and education focused programs, in addition to her time leading the NY office for virtual expo provider Unisfair (now West/Intercall). Klombers was also an early customer of the technology while in the media/publishing industry, where she focused on monetized events.

Her first-hand experience from both sides of execution will allow Klombers to bring a unique, strategic perspective to each discussion, fostering trust while sharing real-world best practices for developing rich content, increasing attendee engagement, improving the sponsor experience, mitigating risk with hybrid events and creating virtual event success.

“One of the things I value most about Robin’s experience is her ability to view programs from each customer’s point of view,” said Lisa Farrell, 6Connex CRO. “Her commitment to customer success is a perfect fit with the 6Connex mission.”
