The two companies partnered to celebrate the success of community management with events across the country and the release of a new research handbook
Washington, DC – January 20, 2015 – Higher Logic, an industry leader in cloud-based community platforms, has partnered with The Community Roundtable to celebrate the integral role of community management for the entire month of January. Based on the belief that success of any community depends on the vital role of a community manager, they are spending January celebrating and featuring Community Managers with 26 days of content and advice.
Higher Logic has built an interactive timeline providing resources and introductions to innovative community managers and experts. Users can click on one day or look through the whole month. Some days are interactive, others a quick read. All are purposely planned to take 15 minutes to digest.
This month-long celebration will culminate in a nation-wide celebration for Community Manager Appreciation Day (CMAD), on Monday, January 26. Both companies have teamed up to co-sponsor events in six cities across the country, from Lunch & Learns to Google+ Hangouts and networking Happy Hours. Those interested in attending events in one of the six cities can register here.
The events will feature the release of the first element of new research from The Community Roundtable and sponsored by Higher Logic, The Community Manager Handbook: 20 Lessons from Community Superheroes, including research highlights and case profiles from some of today’s most successful community professionals. The handbook’s full release coincides with a webinar to be hosted by Higher Logic on Wednesday, February 4 at 2pm ET. For more information and to register, visit the webinar’s registration page.
