Yesterday, at a community event, I met a community-building guru.
Tim Bonnemann is German, lives in the US, came to Colombia for a bit, and found our Coworking Thursdays through Luma.
1 - How cool is it that people can find us through Luma. It feels like the old days of Meetup.
2 - Tim has been building communities for 20 years. He’s literally a Community Architect 🤯 He built online and in-person communities for IBM and Oracle, and set up a research center on community creation (Center for Applied Community Engagement, LLC). A total guru on the topic.
I’m amazed by the serendipity of finding connections like this.
We decided to host an event for community builders on Monday January 26th in Bogotá. Talk about what works, what doesn’t, and grow together in the art of building community. A meta-community of community builders/architects!
Who’s in? DM me or tag community builders you think might be interested.
