Samvera Connect, Partner & Steering Group Meetings
Once each academic year, there is a global Samvera Connect Meetings meeting; this is a chance for all Hydra Samvera Partners and users to meet at one time in one place to promote connections and collaboration throughout the rest of the year. The Hydra Samvera Partners also gather for a multi-day (usually three), face-to-face meeting a couple of times a year. These events provide regular forums for partners to focus on aligning road maps, coordinating resources, and extending the technical, community, documentation and training framework. See the Samvera Partner Meetings page for more details. The Hydra Samvera Steering Group, a smaller group of institutions that stewards the overall effort and provides central administration, also meets separately during these sessions.
