Hello Community Friends, Francisco here 👋 

I wanted to start this issue by thanking all attendees, speakers, sponsors, and volunteers who participated in and supported our Community Everywhere Summit. It was such a great time together while learning from you, the community leaders of our industry. Kudos to all of you!

What’s next for Led by Community in 2024? 🥁 

We made an exciting announcement regarding hosting an in-person event in London on Wednesday, July 10th, 2024.

You are still able to secure your early bird ticket here.

Another area of focus for 2024 is in-person meetups. These will become safe in-person events led by Community Leaders who love to bring people together and engage with other professionals in their cities. Would you like to lead a chapter in your area or join one of our current directors? Apply here.

Chapters with a leader currently are: 

• New York, US.

• San Francisco, US.

• Chicago, US.

• Ankara, Turkey.

• Pakistan

• Bangalore, India.

• London, UK

• YOUR CITY HERE.

We are getting started with the Chapters initiative, so you are still on time to join us and help us shape how we will run this program.

We are hosting our final networking event of this year next Tuesday 28th, and you are most welcome to join us. We will take a break till January so everyone has enough time to recover, enjoy their families, and have some well-deserved rest after so many things we did together in 2023.

We received around 100 applications to join our Community, so we are preparing a welcome party for all of them as part of our onboarding experience. For those waiting, please keep an eye on your inbox for more details on how to join and get access to our Hub. Not a member? Apply and join 400+ Community Leaders here.

We have come together to close the year with a big party in London: CommunityPros of London, CMX London Chapter, and Community Led by Community. RSVP below.
