Community building looks easy from the outside. You show up, you post, you plan events, you keep people engaged. But anyone who has actually done the work knows there is a gap between running a community and running it well — with intention, strategy, and the kind of support that helps you grow.

That gap is exactly what CMX Connect exists to close.

CMX Connect is a global network built specifically for community professionals — the people who build, manage, and lead communities for a living or are working their way there. With chapters across the world, CMX Connect brings together community builders who want to sharpen their craft, connect with peers who get it, and access resources that actually move the needle.

And now, Port Harcourt has its own chapter.

This is the official launch event for CMX Connect Port Harcourt — and you are invited to be in the room where it starts.

What this session covers:

• What CMX Connect is, where it came from, and why it exists

• What the Port Harcourt chapter will offer community professionals in the South-South

• What it means to build community on purpose — with strategy, clarity, and the right support behind you

• How CMX Connect equips you with tools, frameworks, and a global peer network to do the work better

• How to get involved and what being part of the chapter actually looks like

You will also hear from a director of an existing Nigerian CMX chapter, sharing what the network has meant for their career and what running a chapter in Nigeria genuinely looks like on the ground.

Who this is for:

This event is for you if you are a community manager, a developer advocate, a content creator who leads an audience, a nonprofit or tech lead who runs groups, or simply someone who keeps showing up for people and wants to do it more intentionally. If community is part of your work — or you want it to be — this session was built for you.

Port Harcourt's community builders deserve a professional home. This is it.

Come ready to connect, learn, and finally find your people.
