Presented this week by Orbit

Happy Friday to You, Friends and Community Leaders 😊

I had the opportunity to attend the 3rd Unconference in London this week and have the opportunity to meet in person Ilker Akansel, Rebecca Marshburn and a few more Community Builders from the UK.

The non-structured conversation helped everyone enjoy the session and freely share their views on trending challenges for us community leaders.

What else happened this week? Our dear Friend Brian Oblinger announced the Community Strategy Academy. We are partners supporting this fantastic initiative. To help you get started, use code LEDBYCOMMUNITY at checkout for 15% off of a course or membership.
