Presented this week by Orbit

Hello! Community Leaders and Professionals 😊 

We have kickstarted the Personal Brand Challenge for Community Pros today! Kudos to all Pros supporting this initiative and to 50+ members who have joined the challenge for this cohort #1.

We have a few exciting events crafted for you, so please check them all here. The one with Joel Primack and Krystal Wu will be awesome!

Orbit featured a fantastic article highlighting the old way to run Beta Programs VS the new way, the Orbit way. Totally worth a look!

We are having a Europe Centered Meetup tomorrow! RSVP here.

A new initiative: Building Together, is also starting this week on Thursday. For 6 weeks, Community Builders are going to have 1 hour of power work next to community folks all around the globe. Join us here.

We have opened a new Pro Membership for Community Leaders. We have so many programs upcoming that we need your support to make this project sustainable. You now got an opportunity to share your love back.

Now have fun and enjoy this week’s newsletter.

💌 With love Francisco, Nicola and Dhanashree.

Simplify Event Management: Overcoming Key Challenges with Talkbase | Talkbase.io

Event management, while exhilarating, demands meticulous planning and coordination. Oftentimes, as community managers, we inadvertently double as part-time event planners. Today, we'll delve into three common challenges of event management and discuss how Talkbase, a robust community platform for community builders, simplifies these challenges.

Dogfooding for Beta Success - Orbit

We originally laid the groundwork for the Champions Program Manager to manage Champions Programs. We quickly realized that the tool is useful for a number of projects within an organization. We decided we'd be the first to try it, and ironically, we’d use it for something other than its intended use: we used it for our own beta program.
