Launch Your Career in Community Management

About this session

Join us for an open conversation on how to pivot into Community Management.

While online communities have been around for quite some time, careers in Community Management have really gained traction in tech over the past couple of years as more and more companies are becoming Community-Led.

Because the Community Manager role often requires a generalist attitude and combines the experience of a slew of industries, it’s possible you’ve considered trying it out. If you're interested in learning more about Community Management and exploring what it truly means to work in this space, this is the session for you!

For this event, we'll be joined by Katelyn Gillum, Community Educator at Commsor, who will walk us through her experience pivoting into Community Management and will explain the ways that different industries' skill sets have translated to this role.

You will walk away from this event with:

  • An understanding of what being a Community Manager really means
  • Strategies for pivoting into the space
  • Tips for preparing yourself for success in this role
