The Uncomfortable Truth: Community Managers Can't Be Everywhere - Todd Nilson

In a world where community exists on every platform, the uncomfortable truth is that community managers can't be everywhere at once.

This talk challenges the conventional wisdom of multi-platform community management, arguing that the pursuit of omnipresence may lead to burnout and diluted impact. Instead of spreading thin, the session will advocate for strategic focus, leveraging AI, and collaboration with specialized teams.

Considering these questions may fire discussion about the future of community management, questioning current practices, and proposing bold, unconventional strategies that may redefine the profession.

Community Is the Business - Rosie Sherry

Is community in crisis? We experienced the hype and the bubble has popped.

Sure, we're in a better place than we were pre-pandemic, but what is going on right now? Why are community teams completely disappearing and community tools failing us?

And sure, the whole tech world is struggling, it's not just community, but what can we do to put community in a better place?

In this talk, I'll cover why community can't be that separate thing that happens "over there" and how community is actually every decision we make in business.
