Happy Monday, Community Pros!

Francisco is here today to share some exciting news about the changes to the upcoming Community-led World Summit 2025.

Instead of running a 2-day Conference only, we have decided to build something special for community builders in Europe and London:

Meet the London Community Week! ๐Ÿ’ซ Whatโ€™s this all about Francisco?

Welcome to London Community Week (July 8โ€“11, 2025) โ€“ a dynamic, week-long celebration of community building and innovation. Anchored by the Community-led World Summit 2025 on July 9โ€“10, this series of events brings together professionals from across the globe to connect, learn, and collaborate.

The week kicks off with the Community Strategy Hackathon on July 8, where teams will tackle real-world challenges and design impactful solutions. After two inspiring Summit days packed with keynotes, panels, workshops, and networking, weโ€™ll wrap up with the Unconference Plus London on July 11โ€”a unique, attendee-led day of discussions and insights in Central London.

Join us for the full week or choose the events that resonate with you most. London Community Week offers unparalleled opportunities to elevate your community-building expertise and foster meaningful connections.
