It’s almost Spring and time for another Online Community Manager meet-up in London, in association with e-mint, the Association of Online Community Professionals. The event we organised in November was well attended with a great bunch of online community managers, social media strategists (and many other job titles) getting together for a few drinks and a chat.

At FreshNetworks we know that good community management is critical. We’ve worked with clients who have launched communities without them, and whilst they may be able to drive traffic to the site, they lack the kind of real engagement and direction you get from a community with that good party host in place. The more communities that organisations and brands launch, the more important this kind of role becomes.

We need to capture best practice and share ideas; debate and discuss terms and techniques; and work together to make sure we help promote and improve the quality of online communities. And the best way to do this is for us all to share and learn from each other.

Whilst there’s no point changing a winning formula, we are adding a speaker into the Spring event. We can’t say too much about who it is just yet, but we’re excited already. We’re also sponsoring the location and will put some money behind the bar to pay for what should be a fair few drinks and snacks before the tab runs out.

It would be great to get as many people who are interested in community management as possible along. Come for the whole evening or just pop in to say hello.
