What Are the Most Important Events for Online Community Professionals?
Posted by Patrick on August 27th, 2010 in ManagingCommunities.com, Thinking
I was curious about this, so I thought I’d ask: what do you think are the most important events for online community professionals?
And I want to qualify that question a bit by saying I mean those who manage structured or hosted, on site communities, as opposed to those who maintain a Twitter profile, Facebook page, use social media listening tools, etc. People who do that (myself included) are managing a community, as well, just in a different context and I want to try to focus the answers down a bit.
Why am I asking? For one, I want to know and I’m curious. For two, I’m booking speaking engagements for this fall and winter (and 2011) and want to know where I should be. Please leave any and all answers in the comments. I appreciate it.




I’m sorry, Patrick, I don’t know. But I would love to know too and I hope you post your answers when you find out and especially the ones you’ll be speaking at. The head of the yoga teachers training school I consult for wants an online community for yoga teachers and students. He’s very enthusiastic, but other people are concerned because they hear so much about spam and horrible people. So I’m really interested in learning how to manage an online community properly. Thanks for this site. I’ve been reading posts all afternoon.
Best regards,
Kamala
