Make amazing remote networking events • AMA with Lorenzo Castro On Deck Manager & former Head of "Be My Cofounder" Program @ The Family • Replay
Lorenzo put on autopilot a remote networking event using a combo Hopin x zapier x airtable x typeform and so more other tools (Before 18'27 => Tips and tricks about virtual events, after that it’s more screenshare and deep-dive focus on his technical nocode stack.)
Newsletter's update
As you know it if you follow my move since a while, tools for community pros has always been a strong composent in Airparty DNA.
Designing and building global communities in 2021 means we got to be educated on digital stuff.
As Patrick Woods said in one of our previous podcast DevRel communities does exist for no other reasons. Because tech engineers have to stay on the edge with their Stack and Art.
Why ? Because If they don't they could jeopardize all a company business on bad tool choices. Really badly.
So do global community builders in 2021.
Hence this newsletter will now be 100% dedicated to the last community tools ops, pros and solos talking about.
Tools and news from the latest forum, audio-chat, content creation, virtual event, that community ops, pros and solos talking about, used or create.
Hope you could choose wisely your next community stack according to our curation based on what tools other peers talking about, used or created themselves.
