Today many already established communities face problems with engagement and a decrease in their activities. Leaders and members even tried to resume activities, but often, their frustrated efforts culminated in undesired outcomes. On the other hand, new communities are emerging, but also, sooner or later, faced similar problems, such as how to continue strengthening the community and expanding the involvement of all its members. Isn't it time to redefine or organize the dynamics of your community?

In this interactive session, we will discuss how to strengthen and expand your JUG through the active participation of all its members. Based on insights from distinct-sized JUGs together, SouJava — one of the largest JUGs globally — and Quarkus Club, a rapidly emerging JUG that has already garnered over 2,000 members in just a few months, let's explore innovative strategies to decentralize responsibilities, avoiding overloading the leadership and providing opportunities for each member to contribute.

Join us and let's discuss new models of collaboration that increase engagement and keep our community alive and active, attracting new members in the long term.
