Session

We started a user group and gained 1,000 followers in 6 months! How to contribute to your community

Are you wondering what is the best way to contribute to your community? Podcast, blog, run a user group?

This light hearted and fun session will tell the story of two friends who wanted to create something fun. Something not too corporate, and a safe space where everyone is welcome, including first time speakers.

We’ll talk through our journey and how it’s even supported a transition into freelancing.

In this session you’ll hear our story about how we got started, from setting boundaries, finding a unique and meaningful name, getting the word out in a fun way (worst kept secret) and attracting speakers.

We’ll teach you all about consistency with branding, cadence of events, giving your speakers the VIP treatment and how to continuously grow your following from 0 to 1,000 and get nominated for a Microsoft Community Award within six months.

If you’re looking to start a thing, where you can have fun, learn and encourage others, this is the session for you!
