OnEBoard 2024 in Review

The OnEBoard team took a look back at the top topics of 2024 and the trends we expect to see in 2025.

2024 OnEBoard Milestones

This was a banner year, as OnEBoard hit several major milestones. 

OnEBoard 2024: Tech Topic, OnEBoard Chat, Resources & Tutorials, Expert Guestsf

Tech Topic Podcast & Live Stream

Tech Topic is OnEBoard's biweekly podcast and live stream, with 3 tips in 10 minutes. 

There were 22 episodes in 2024, with 66 tech tips!  

One thing that sets OnEBoard's Tech Topic apart is that Nina Trankova, Bob Danley, and Peggy Kolm share tips based on personal experience, rather than relying on trends or promotional content.

OnEBoard Chat

OnEBoard Chat is our biweekly deep dive discussion about a technical topic. We have covered generative AI, content creation, account management, local businesses, Google Workspace tools and more. 

For most of 2024, OnEBoardChat used a poll as a discussion starter on Twitter/XYouTube and LinkedIn.

In August we shifted to live streaming on YouTube, with the live chat open for discussion. 

Heading into 2025 OnEBoard will continue to live stream with supplemental polls on social media.
