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
