A private forum for Twin Cities enterprise collaboration leaders to share real-world challenges, strategies, and solutions—without vendor noise.
Built by enterprise collaboration leaders—for enterprise collaboration leaders.
Following InfoComm 2023, a group of Twin Cities UC leaders connected at a VIP dinner hosted by Poly. What started as a casual gathering quickly turned into something more meaningful.
After the event, many of us spent hours in conversation—sharing what we’re building, what’s working, what isn’t, and how we’re navigating the real challenges of running UC at scale.
It became clear there was something missing. Not another conference. Not another vendor-led session. But a trusted, local forum where leaders could connect openly, exchange real-world insights, and learn from one another without the noise.
The HUB was created to fill that gap—and has been growing ever since.
Take advantage of the unique concentration of UC leadership across the Twin Cities and create a smaller, more focused forum—designed for real conversation, hands-on knowledge sharing, and meaningful in-person connection.
A group built not around presentations, but participation. Not around scale, but relevance.
That’s The HUB.
A confidential space to speak openly and learn from peers.
Focused on real challenges in real-world environments.
Connections and insights that drive meaningful outcomes.
UC field visits and in-person sessions inside real enterprise environments.
What’s working. What’s not. And what leaders are doing about it.
A trusted space to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and learn from peers.
What’s being evaluated, adopted, and worth paying attention to.
Pushing each other to think differently and raise the bar.
Executive Council sessions create the trust, candor, and time needed for conversations that rarely happen in traditional conferences or vendor presentations.
Through invitation-only Executive Briefings, leaders share real experiences, challenge assumptions, learn from one another, and work through the issues that matter most.
Topics may include AI, workplace transformation, security, governance, leadership, strategy, and the future of enterprise collaboration.
Confidential, peer-driven conversations in a professional environment built on mutual respect.
Participation is by invitation to maintain meaningful discussion, diverse perspectives, and executive-level engagement.
Practical insights, honest dialogue, and relationships that continue well beyond the meeting.
The HUB Executive Council convenes through one-to-two Executive Briefings per year. Each session is intentionally timed and designed to drive meaningful, high-impact discussions and outcomes.
The Council is intentionally limited to maintain meaningful discussion and foster trusted relationships among senior leaders.
Current HUB participants may be considered for future Executive Council invitations based on engagement, leadership experience, and alignment with the Council’s mission.

We didn’t start The HUB to create another networking event. We started it because we wanted the kind of community we wished existed — a place where technology leaders could call someone they trust and ask, “Have you dealt with this before?”

Kyle believes the best technology leaders aren't the ones with all the answers—they're the ones who know how to bring the right people together. Through The HUB, his goal is simple: create the community he always wished existed, where enterprise collaboration leaders openly share ideas, solve problems together, and help one another succeed.

Eric brings a unique blend of operational leadership, enterprise technology experience, and a genuine passion for helping others succeed. Before joining Ameriprise, he spent years in enterprise collaboration, including serving as Conferencing Lead at Cargill and VNOC Team Lead for North America at Video Guidance/Pinnaca.
Outside of work, Eric lives in Minnesota with his wife Amanda and their four boys. He proudly claims the titles of diaper-changing champion, youth sports chauffeur, and occasional connoisseur of long walks on the beach.
We spent years attending conferences where the best conversations happened between sessions—not on stage. We realized technology leaders didn't need another vendor presentation. They needed trusted peers.
Technology is complicated. None of us has every answer. The best solutions often come from someone who's already solved the same problem.
We didn't set out to build another user group.
We set out to build a community.
Recent forums have brought together nearly 100 enterprise collaboration leaders representing many of Minnesota's largest organizations.
The HUB continues to grow through trusted referrals and a shared commitment to meaningful, high-value discussion.
Participation is intentionally limited to support meaningful discussion, trusted peer exchange, and a high-quality experience for members.
