Yesterday, I was lucky enough to attend ReCon 2014. What's ReCon, you ask? ReCon is TechSmith's yearly, internal conference. The goal is to share knowledge, learn new things, and spend time with coworkers from every department. Presentations were given by TechSmith employees and covered a variety of topics. For example, some of the sessions I attended were called: Make It Work Pretty, #canyouhearmenow, and Bug Report: The Human Brain. I learned a little about neuroscience, discovered new font websites, and got some great mobile video tips. I truly appreciate working at a company that values learning and growing. And did I mention they spoiled us with the most delicious food throughout the day? I'm already looking forward to next year. Before you dive into this month's newsletter, I want to make sure I share one more cool thing with you. If you or the Mac user in your life are moving to OS X Yosemite, make sure to check out TechSmith AppShow (now in open beta). It’s a brand new product for mobile screencasting and a whole, new approach to creating content. And, as always, we’d love to hear what you think!

But they didn’t stop there. Virgin Media empowered 15,000 other colleagues to share their knowledge as well.

Virgin Media employees continuously push themselves to “change the game,” a phrase that describes their dedication to doing things better, smarter, and faster than anyone else.
