Session Overview
What’s techy, spicy, bacon-lovin’ and orange all over? Why, the Spiceworks Community, of course! Not only are there over 4M IT pros using the Community to do their jobs, research products, and talk shop with vendors, they’re also having some jolly good fun! Hear from one of Spiceworks’ very own IT pros as he highlights Spiceworks humour, shows how you can take the Community goodness offline, and shows you how easy it is to spread the spice to other IT pros and tech vendors near and far.
The Real Spiceworks Community
Sorry for the Accent
Who are you and why should we care?

SpiceHeads, Green Guys, and OGs, oh my!
This is the name chosen by the community to refer to Spiceworks users. Because who wants to be called a “user”?
Spiceworks Partners are official brand representatives more commonly known as Green Guys, Green Gals, or lately “GG”.
Spiceworkers are often referred to as “OGs” but not because we’re pretty gangsta, but because we’re Orange Gals and Guys.
