Mastering CiviCRM #8: In-person community

Yes, CiviCRM has a fantastic online community.

But if you ask me, in-person meetups are where the real magic happens.

When it comes to learning, contributing, and inspiring each other, nothing beats hanging out in real life with a bunch of other people who are working with the same tools and facing similar challenges to achieve similar goals.

Of course in-person gatherings for CiviCRM, as for everything else, took a big hit in the gloomy COVID lockdown days.

But they've been slowly making a comeback. CiviCamps, trainings, and developer sprints are coming up in 2023:

• CiviCamp in London, UK: June 20

• CiviCamp and sprint in Leipzig, Germany: Sept. 11-14

• CiviCamp, sprint, and training in Manchester, UK: Nov. 29 - Dec. 8

And great news for us here in North America: discussion is under way now for a CiviCamp in Ontario, Canada (currently looking at Toronto or Ottowa) in the Fall.

Here’s the thing:

I’m so impressed with the benefits of attending that I sponsor 50% of the event fee for my most active coaching clients. If they're that committed to mastering CiviCRM to further their mission, I want them to be at these events

If you can make it to one of these, you probably should.

It’s one of the best time investments you can make in mastering CiviCRM to support your mission.

All the best,
A.
