In January, join us for a talk from community pioneer Bill Johnston that will set your communities on the right track for 2016.

Online Communities are Your Organization's Future

Bill will lead a discussion on:

• Why 20th century businesses aren’t adapting to 21st century realities, including mobile

• Why we need a fundamentally new and more expansive approach to building online communities in our evolving global economy (hint: mobile)

• How to manage one of the most important (and misunderstood / undervalued) organizational functions

• Emerging opportunities for businesses to create and exchange new forms of value with their communities and, in the process, become more sustainable.
