Conferences Are a Great Way to Do In-Person Meetups for Your Online Community | ManagingCommunities.com: Community Manager Blog

February 19, 2014 By mark david mcCreary

Patrick O'Keefe shares some tips for getting your virtual community to participate in a face to face event, including piggybacking on an existing conference that people are already attending.

When members of an online community meet face to face, something magical happens. Connections strengthen and bonds are solidified. It helps people appreciate the community even more.

The prospect of organizing an in-person meetup can seem pretty daunting. Is it just a quick hello at a bar or coffee shop? Or is it a bigger event to justify a trip? What city do you host it in? What venue? When? What will people do? Will you offer food? How much money do you need and where will it come from? What about insurance and legalities? Even if it is a lot of work, there is great value to be had in hosting your own offline event that stands on its own.
