* The "EDS Alumni" LinkedIn group is operated by an informal team of EDS alumni and current employees of HP Enterprise Services –- not the HPAA. The HPAA has been providing assistance to the team. Neither the "EDS Alumni" LinkedIn group nor the HP Alumni Association is endorsed or supported by Hewlett-Packard.

 


HPAA Networking Groups

The HPAA operates two networking groups on LinkedIn – the leading professional networking system.

The value of membership in a large LinkedIn group is that you can search and reach those in the same group without a paid LinkedIn membership.

Use the two HPAA groups on LinkedIn to find exHPers at a specific company, or by industry, title, or city ...or reconnect with a former co-worker ...or just to answer "Whatever happened to?"

LinkedIn never exposes your email address to other members without your permission.  Emails you send via LinkedIn have a linkedin.com return address – and LinkedIn gives you precise control as to which types of email you receive via their system.

For current and former employees of HP, HP acquisitions, and HP spinoffs. 42,000 members. HPAA membership is not required to join the "HP Connections" group on LinkedIn. Allow 48 hours for our volunteers to approve your request. (If you are an HPAA member, click here to be pre‑approved.)

For HPAA members. HPAA members should join both groups – many "HP Alumni Association" members are not members of "HP Connections."  HPAA members are pre‑approved for this group. Click here. If difficulty, click here to sync-up your HPAA membership with your LinkedIn account.

 


Clubs, online forums, LinkedIn groups, and Facebook pages worldwide

The HPAA does not have local chapters. Instead, we publicize the major independent clubs, online forums, LinkedIn groups, and Facebook pages here and in HP Alumni News.

There are major clubs, online forums, LinkedIn groups, and Facebook pages for:

  • Functional Areas

  • Business Units and Divisions

  • Acquisitions and Spinoffs

  • Regional and Local – International

  • Regional and Local – US

  • History and Products

  • General


Most of these clubs, online forums, LinkedIn groups, and Facebook pages are independently operated, unless otherwise indicated:

Official HP site or HP-supported group (highlighted in yellow) 

HPAA group, network, or site (highlighted in green)

New or featured

Inclusion in this directory does not imply endorsement by the HPAA. The HP Alumni Association is an independent volunteer organization – not endorsed or supported by the Hewlett-Packard Company.


Want to start a new club, online forum, LinkedIn group, or Facebook page? The HPAA provides assistance and publicity: Email.
