LCB #73 Workshop is tomorrow! Brian Oblinger's invite and new chapters starting soon!

Happy Monday, Community Leaders! Francisco here 👋 

Before we start today…Have you joined our Slack Conversations? Join here.

Now, let’s do this! Our chapters have made good progress in Q1. Ruthie Berber hosted the first New York Meetup, and now Anthony Middleton is hosting an online event with games (Codenames) on April 16th. RSVP here.

We had a fantastic coworking day earlier this month and decided to book the space at Fabrik for the next one immediately! Are you a Londoner? RSVP here.

Community-led World Summit in London + Online is moving fast! Brian Oblinger shared a lovely video teasing his thoughts about the event. Watch here!

Now keep scrolling for the best of the industry and 100+ new roles updated on our job board! We are still leading on this side 😁 

Your Friend, Francisco & Led by the Community Team

Simplify your business with Circle

Many creators are under the impression that successful communities have thousands of members and are run by a large team with a complex tech stack.

Here’s the thing though. 4 in 5 of the most successful community builders on Circle have 500 or fewer community members. Nearly 60% don’t have any full-time help, and half of them only use three or fewer tools to manage their community.

You don’t need any more members, employees, or money to become a top community builder. What you need is a deep understanding of the audience you serve, combined with a platform that helps you create an extraordinary member experience—which is exactly where Circle comes in.

Circle is the world’s leading community platform for professional creators, world-class brands, and everyone in between. Build an online home for your community, run events, sell courses, and share your content—all in one easy-to-use platform, under your brand.

Start your 14-day trial today.
