We’re excited to share the talks, topics & speakers of our second Summit on January 24, 2019 in Berlin.

TL;DR: Our second Community Leadership Summit takes place in Berlin this Thursday, January 24. Applications are closed now.

We couldn’t be more excited for an incredible, diverse group of people to meet and explore how we’ll bring people together in the post social media age.

A future that — we believe — will not be dominated by the platforms that define our understanding of social media today and that require new skills, mindsets and ethics to navigate.

For all of you who can’t be there we’ll be live tweeting from the @co_matter Twitter account and share all sessions with you in the upcoming weeks.
