TheCR Connect 2020

Virtual Community Management Conference

PARTICIPANTS
AGENDA
FAQ
SPONSORS

For the last five years, Connect has taken place as a live event, but for 2020 we've reimagined what it means to meaningfully connect.

NINE COMMUNITY TRACKS

To help attendees find the sessions that will be the most valuable, we have divided all activities into nine tracks. Tracks also give us the opportunity to work with Track Chairs for the first time. Each Chairperson holds deep expertise in their track, and will serve as the member voice and face for Connect 2020.

Learn more about Track Chairs and view our 2020 Track Chairs.

40+ ONLINE SESSIONS

With over 40 online sessions, we've reimagined what it means to Connect in 2020. From platforms demos to interactive case studies to meditation to wine and chocolate tastings you'll connect with the ideas, inspiration, and people you need to reset, recharge, and plan for success.

Isn't a month a long time for an event?!


The COVID-19 pandemic prompted us to design Connect 2020 in a safe way that fulfills your desire to deeply connect with peers.
Based on member feedback and guidance, we have reimagined Connect as a month-long community celebration, with sessions running at regularly scheduled times on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday each week. Keynotes, case studies, product demos, show and tells, and unique network opportunities will weave into a comprehensive agenda – spanning time zones and transcending distance.

SPONSORS

All Connect 2020 sponsors will be featured during our new Technology track - including demos, AMAs, panels, and case studies. Bring your questions, and connect with leading online community technology providers in October. Learn more about Technology Track.
