Upcoming Webinar: The Community Lifecycle

Over the past few decades The Community Lifecycle has been developed by academics, refined by practitioners, and perfected by FeverBee. The Lifecycle defines online community development in four phases: inception, establishment, maturity, and mitosis.

Using the Lifecycle as a guide, you can identify exactly what phase your community is in now and anticipate how it will change over time. If you attend this webinar, at the end of one hour you will be more informed about communities than most community professionals you meet. Join us August 29th to find out what the community lifecycle is and how to effectively guide your community through every stage.

Thursday, August 29 at 9am PDT
