Guilds Assemble!

Turning your passion into a formal group that seeks to upskill and broaden the horizons of our organization? That’s downright heroic!

In the past year, our organization has seen a number of guilds emergeThese makeshift teams center people around a common interest, often inclusive of both professionals and enthusiasts, either chartered or self-organized. 

At Engage 2021, staff will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of guild-led workshops, designed to impart new knowledge and skills, exposing people to new kinds of superpowers. 

This is your opportunity to check out the diversity of places where you can join other Enterprise Technology superheroes on missions like cloud acceleration, building digital trust protocols, culture weaving, achieving excellence in product management and more.

Forks up, capes on!

What is a Guild? 


Guilds are communities of practice that are either self-organized or chartered, centered around a common interest (it can be professional or just for fun!).

These guilds represent some of the innovative work being done at Enterprise Technology to improve the services and experiences of the ASU community and the community we serve.
