LCB #77: CMX 2024, London Meetup, NY TechWeek Event, 80 days for CLW Summit!

Happy Monday, Community Leaders! Francisco here 👋 

We are returning to the origins, adding value and highlighting the cool stuff from this intro. Let’s dive in!

Our friends Todd Nilson and Phil Gerbyshak discuss Happiness and leadership in this event + article.

I’ll participate next to Carrie Melissa Jones in a panel to discuss community ROI, organised by our friends at Grazitti Interactive. RSVP

It is not a secret that Orbit was recently acquired, and Advocu and Common Room are waiting for their customer base to take action. Common Room just did an aggressive update to their pricing that is worth checking out.

Beginner Map Pod is getting some traction. Listen here.

Our beloved Ruthie Berber's meetup was approved to be featured on the NY TechWeek Calendar. If you are around for the event, RSVP.

London Community Folks are getting together tomorrow at Fabrik’s space for a coworking day! Join us here. Shoutout to Common Room for sponsoring!

Bettermode announced last week a new template that can help you launch your social network in just a few clicks and with the sleek theme of X.

We are officially only 80 days away from the Community-led World Summit that will gather in London on July 10th this year. Did you know that all sessions will be streamed online? If you are not around, you can still learn from your favourite community pros!
