Escape the Cubicle (or Home Office)! 6 Fun Reasons To Get Away From Your Service Desk

Posted on Wednesday 21 August 2024.

Whether you’re staring at the same four walls in the office or in your home office, even the most passionate ITSM professionals need a change of scenery now and then. That’s why getting out to attend a Service Desk Institute (SDI) event is more than just a break—it’s an opportunity! The upcoming event on Driving Continual Service Improvement in November 2024 is the perfect excuse to step away from your desk and immerse yourself in something truly valuable. Here’s why you won’t want to miss it!

1. Because Your Email Can Wait (But Networking Can’t)

Remember that email you just replied to? Neither do we. But you will remember the people you meet at an SDI event. Whether you’re in the office or working from home, this is your chance to network with peers, learn from the pros, and maybe even discover your next big idea or career opportunity. The best part? You’ll be face-to-face with professionals who share your passion for service excellence, minus the distractions of Slack pings or inbox overload. And let’s be real, swapping business cards at an SDI event beats clicking “Connect” on LinkedIn any day.

2. Get Inspired by New Ideas (Not Just PowerPoint Slides)

Feeling stuck in the same routine? Attending the SDI event on Driving Continual Service Improvement will be like hitting the refresh button on your brain. Instead of the usual virtual meetings or office presentations, you’ll experience interactive sessions and workshops led by industry leaders who’ve cracked the code to successful service improvement. Imagine returning to your desk with a notebook full of fresh ideas and a head buzzing with strategies that could elevate your team’s ITSM game. You won’t just be inspired—you’ll be the inspiration your team needs.

3. Because Free Lunch is Always a Good Idea

Who says there’s no such thing as a free lunch? At this SDI event, you’ll not only feed your mind with new knowledge, but you’ll also enjoy a complimentary lunch that’s a welcome break from your usual sandwich at the desk. Whether you’re coming from the office or your home workspace, this is your chance to indulge in a tasty meal while networking with like-minded professionals. Plus, who doesn’t love the combination of good food and great company?

4. Because Free Swag is Always a Bonus

Who doesn’t love free stuff? Whether it’s a new tech gadget, a quirky pair of socks, or a new pen for your desk, SDI events are known for their swag. Sure, it might seem trivial, but these little tokens of appreciation can make the event that much more memorable. And let’s face it, adding a few extra items to your home office or work desk is a fun way to remember your great day out.

5. Get Your Geek On with Hands-On Demos

Tired of hearing about the latest ITSM tools without actually getting to try them out or meet the people behind the brand? At this events you can get a hands-on demo where you can roll up your sleeves and test-drive the newest technology. At this event, you’ll have the chance to explore tools and techniques that are key to driving continual service improvement. It’s like being a kid in a candy store—but for IT professionals! You’ll get to meet the lovely folks from Freshworks, ManageEngine, Sunrise Software and Eficode plus the ITIL team from PeopleCert. We’ll be announcing some more exciting exhibitors in the next couple of weeks!

6. Because Fun Isn’t Just for Fridays

Who says you can’t mix business with pleasure? November will more like a really packed social event. Picture this: instead of your usual lunch break at your desk or home kitchen, you’re enjoying a meal with industry peers, sharing stories, laughing at the latest service desk mishaps, and making connections that last long after the event. It’s not just a one day gathering; it’s also a chance to unwind and recharge.

Conclusion: Break Free and Level Up

Getting out of the office or your home office to attend the SDI event on Driving Continual Service Improvement is more than just a good idea—it’s an opportunity to grow, learn, and have a bit of fun along the way. So, go on, tell your boss (or your cat/dog) it’s time for a field trip. Your email inbox will still be there when you get back (unfortunately), but the experience, insights, and connections you gain will be worth their weight in gold.
