Advice for Startups on Building Engaging, Successful Communities

Monday, May 1, 2023 3:00 PM 4:00 PM PST

  • Join us on May 2nd for a discussion about the art and science of building communities with Fawzy Abu Seif / CEO & Co-Founder of Spokn, Katie Reed / CEO & Co-founder of Balanced and Danny Garcia / Manager of Demand Gen Marketing at Catalyst Software. The panel will be followed by Q&A, networking and 🍷🍻

Why this matters for startups

Communities are important part of many - maybe most - startups. For many businesses, communities and community platforms are part of their product offering. For others, communities are a marketing mechanic and a tool for branding. On this panel, we'll speak with three brilliant leaders about what it takes to build a thriving community that grow the value of your company - and delivers value to the members of that community.

What we'll cover

  • Launching a community - including defining what your community is, your target members and why people should join

  • Managing a community - where to be hands on vs. hands off and how to create content that engages people

  • Helping people feel connected with each other

  • Creating mechanics that foster engagement like sharing, events, rewards, scoreboards, etc.

  • Ensuring the community you're building aligns with your business goals

  • Defining various types of communities formats to consider - ranging from social media communities to slack groups to subscription-based memberships

  • Establishing goals and desired outcomes for your community to help you measure progress

  • Understanding the resources, costs, and timelines of building a community

  • Identifying tools & platforms that help run communities
