Community and the Power of Developers

The concept of community is part and parcel of the developer experience. Harnessing their potential and making them challenged are key to your organizational growth. By building community into your organizational strategy, you in turn build a culture of experimentation. We'll talk through strategies I've seen work in my time building marketing and community programs for engineering-driven companies in both operational and advisor roles. We’re going to talk through tactics and methods of measurement so you can execute things that work!
