If you know me, you also know I’ve been advocating<\/a> since 2015 for a space, in real life, where community managers can gather, discuss, grow together. So the first CLSxItaly<\/a> was born, and it was a blast<\/a>! Fast forward to nowadays, we organized 6 conferences<\/a>, gave a stage to 35 speakers<\/a>, re-branded from CLSxItaly to Italian Community Managers Summit<\/a> (ICM Summit, for friends), connected hundreds of Italian community professionals in real life and on a Facebook group<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, I decided to make another important step along this journey: open a CMX Connect chapter in Milan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason<\/strong> is still the same of 4 years ago: offer to community managers, builders and professionals a platform to connect each other, to learn and share about this common passion we all have, to create a group identity to avoid the feeling of being alone. To grow, together<\/strong>, in this profession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The choice of the CMX Connect<\/strong> format was pretty straightforward. After the first couple of conferences, we organizers immediately noticed an insatiable thirst to keep meeting and sharing with our fellows community builders. So strong, the cadence of the conferences was too diluted to satisfy it. We knew we should have organized meetups between the summits, but we had no time to do that (remember, we do all of this for free<\/em>). Then, one day, I noticed the CMX Connect initiatives, and how their 5 Ws<\/a> fitted perfectly with the idea we had in mind, plus the access the richest and strongest network of community professionals around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so, with a pinch of courage, I founded the CMX Connect Milan chapter<\/a>, with Chiara and Alessio helping me running it (and more help always welcome<\/em>). It will be the bridge to close the gap between ICM Summit events<\/a> (next one on 15 Nov, tickets here<\/a>). It will allow us to experiment with more lightweight formats, with a shorter cadence, with the same passion behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the dream of seeing, in the near future, several Italian CMX Connect chapters collaborating together to organize the ICM Summit. Let’s see if this future will land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
