What makes people feel like they truly belong in a community?

A community can have hundreds or even thousands of members and still feel disconnected.

In this session, we will discuss what actually turns a collection of people into a community, from shared identity and purpose to relationships, rituals, norms, and the everyday interactions that shape member experience.

We'll look beyond numbers and activity to the things that make people feel seen, connected, and part of something.

Who should attend?

This session is for:

• Community managers and builders

• Community leads and volunteers

• Founders building communities around their products or organizations

• Event and program managers

• Developer relations and ecosystem professionals

• Anyone interested in creating stronger member experiences
