Virtual Events and ROI - Are we getting our money's worth? (Ep 61)

Community Pulse

09/03/21 • 38 min

Over the last year, we’ve talked about virtual events quite a bit - from how to get started to bringing things together in a short period of time. That said, being a sponsor at these virtual events has been somewhat of a challenge. With no real “booth” or physical location for interaction, where can value be found in these events and how do we show the benefits to our sponsoring organizations. To discuss this, we brought together a few folks who have experienced virtual events from different points of view.

DevRel Around the World (Ep 59)

Community Pulse

05/28/21 • 29 min

It’s easy to say that Developer Relations and Community Management is not universal, but sometimes, we focus so much on what is being done in our part of the world that we can forget how things might be different in different places.

In this episode, we decided to try something a little different. We reached out to folks around the world to tell their stories, to let us know what makes their experiences unique. We wanted to get a sense of what unites us in DevRel and what small or large tweaks need to made to adjust for geography and culture.

2021 has been a year of ups and downs in the world of DevRel and Community work.

We’ve also tried new things, both on the podcast and personally, and in this episode we will cover our perspectives on the year that was 2021.
