Step away from the screen and into good conversation with the Bay as your backdrop.
Join fellow community builders, founders and operators for a 90-minute walk along the Embarcadero, where we'll swap ideas, challenges and wins from the work of building community.
Whether you lead a developer community, run member programs, organise local meetups or are just getting started in the field, this is a relaxed way to meet peers who truly get what you do.
Along the way, we'll mix up walking partners and use a few conversation prompts to keep things flowing.
Expect to chat about:
🏵️ Engagement and keeping members active
🏵️ Measuring the impact of your community
🏵️ Burnout and sustainability
🏵️ What's working in your community right now
Bring comfortable shoes, a layer for the waterfront breeze, water, and a question or challenge you'd love input on. The route is flat and paved.
