Loop 2025 - The Coral Reef Effect: How Communities Create Vibrant Startup Ecosystems

Описание: Loop 2025 was a first-of-its-kind 24-hour virtual conference, hosted by CMX, The Community Collective, and Led by Community. The event brought together community professionals, leaders, and innovators from around the globe for a full day of sessions, workshops, and networking—spotlighting the voices shaping the future of the community industry.

Speaker: Ilker Akansel

Session Details: Silicon Valley, Silicon Fen, Silicon Roundabout… we’ve all seen the talk and the big bucks thrown around trying to replicate that celebrated success. But fair dinkum, maybe the secret to a thriving ecosystem isn't the flashy name or the huge investment, but the communities you build along the way. Hailing from the UK's Cambridge, the home of Europe's ""Silicon Fen,"" community strategist Ilker Akansel will have a yarn on how a healthy community, just like one certain great coral reef, creates a nurturing environment for new life and success to thrive. He’ll dissect past and present success stories through a community builder’s lens and offer a tip or two on how you can help turn where you are into the next great ""Silicon-something."" No dramas!
