Upcoming Webinar - Human Centered Community

Communities are collections of people, with desires and egos. Instead of worrying about community in terms of technical platform or UX experience, let’s focus on what makes people tick and want to participate in our online communities. We’ll keep humans at the forefront of this discussion.

Using his experience in a variety of communities, Marc Siegel will take you through the steps necessary to create, build, and nourish a human-centered online community experience. Join us September 10th to learn the ins and outs of connecting with your community in a humanized way.

Tuesday September 10 at 10am PDT
