    Notes

    •  Add Videos, Documents, and other collateral to your Catalyst project page RESOURCE tab 

    Catalyst Team

    Project Status: FULL CYCLE

    • The Resource tab will act as the virtual “show bag” for your project

    HOW-TO Tutorial: Adding collateral to your Resource tab in your Catalyst Space (Duration: 9:30 mins)

    Currently, we are limited to how much structuring the resource page functionality allows.  Our recommendation is:

    • Use the folder naming to order and group the resource page how you'd like the attendee to "consume" or watch your material. 
    • Folders are auto-listed alphabetically, souse numbering to make sure your folders appear in the correct order. 
      • For example, you could name your first folder something like 01. Introduction to our Project, then put all resources you want to show first here.  The next folder would be 02. Where we began and so forth down the page. 
    •  Add new team members added to Catalyst Space 'Team' tab

    Catalyst Team

    Catalyst Teams

    Project Status: Pending Activation

    All Catalyst project teams that have reached 'Viable' / Pending Activation status are eligible to record a 2-minute trailer video that will be featured in your online Catalyst Space that will provide visitors a quick snapshot of your Catalyst project.

    TM Forum will be producing a 2-minute trailer video that will be featured in your online Catalyst Space to provide visitors a quick snapshot of your Catalyst project.  The goal of these trailer videos is to grow awareness of your Catalyst project and build ‘Followers’ as we drive towards DTW - Ignite 2023. We will also share the videos via our social media channels and encourage all of you to do the same. We will be providing a script outline and tips for your video.

    The purpose of the video is for one spokesperson to explain a little summary of the project for visitors to their project space. Please see a good example from a past Catalyst https://myaccount.tmforum.org/networks/22-0-281/index.html

    Please collectively decide on ONE spokesperson to be “on camera” for your video.  We recommend the best suited person could come from Champion, to clearly state the problem you are solving, its impact to CSP applications, and what audience would expect as an outcome. The team representative should be engaging, well-spoken and able to present your work in a clear and concise manner. 

    Please fill out this form Speaker for DTW 2023 Catalyst trailer video to let us know who your spokesperson will be.  Our video production team, Common Ground, will then work with them to schedule the video recording. The sooner we know, the sooner we can schedule, record, and post your video.
