FeverBee’s Community SPRINT

250 Community Professionals

Yes everyone, this is it.

Are you going to SPRINT?

On October 29th – 30th, we’re going to bring the world’s top community experts (some you know, some you won’t) to Share Practical, Relevant, Ideas and New Tactics (SPRINT).

Day 1 will be an intensive workshop. We’re going to train a small group of you in advanced community skills.

Day 2 will be a more traditional conference featuring the best experts in the world. This event will be dedicated to the one thing, getting practical actions from top speakers to increase activity in your community. 

No fluffy high-level ideas you can’t apply, just great people sharing specific, relevant, practical ideas and new tactics. 

 

The problem with most events

If you go to as many events as we do, you know that too many events have speakers that don’t give you anything new you can take back to your boss or immediately apply to your community.

Think about it, when was the last time you applied something you learned at a conference?

We’re going to change that. We’re going to force every single speaker to be very specific in their suggestions to you.

 

Best speaker line-up ever? 

For the past few months I’ve been badgering my friends to agree to share their precious time at our event.

The line-up is best I’ve ever seen for any community event.

The line-up includes:

  • Myself, Richard Millington (FeverBee)
  • Loree Draude (Head of Communities, Google Adwords)
  • Jeff Atwood (Founder, Discourse)
  • Philippe Beaudette (Director of Community, Wikipedia)
  • Caty Kobe (Director of Communities, OpenTable)
  • Justin Isaf (Rugged, rogue, Community Consultant, Communl)
  • Rachel Happe (Founder, Community Roundtable)
  • Allison Leahy (Director of Community, FitBit)
  • Douglas Atkin (Head of Community, AirBnB)
  • John Baku (Founder, FetLife)
  • Rob Ludlow (Backyard Chickens, seriously – check it out!)
  • Dianne Kibbey (Head of Communities, Premier Farnell)

These are the people actually doing the work and getting incredible results. 

Every single one of you will walk away with great ideas – or you can claim a full refund (seriously!).
