TheCR Connect is a three-day learning conference exclusively for online community practitioners - those engaged in the development, implementation, management, and measurement of community initiatives.
You might be a community manager for a 50,000-person employee community, the community specialist at a start-up, or the director of community for a Fortune 500 brand.
TheCR Connect is for people who want to:
- get their hands dirty in practical workshops
- find solutions to their community challenges
- connect with other community leaders
- share their knowledge and learn from others
- walk away inspired to improve their community

AGENDA*
In 2016 we explored the theme "Community Takes Center Stage" through sessions, group discussions, and hands-on training programs. In 2017 we took that idea further with "Telling Your Community Story" - as the spotlight shines brighter on community programs, we explored how to build your community narrative, prove your community's ROI, and sell your community success to stakeholders. In 2018 we tackled the idea that Community Accelerates Organizational Transformation.
The theme for Connect 2019 was "Community Leaders Ascend."
Stay tuned for the Connect 2020 theme announcement!
