Community Isn't Cancelled — Q3 FY20 NetSquared Report
Slide 1 — Introduction Hi, it's Eli the NetSquared Community Manager. Join me for a lightning tour of highlights from NetSquared's last three months. Slide 2 — Three Highlights This quarter saw the arrival of COVID-19, which resulted in the cancellation of all live events. But Meetup changed their policies to allow online meetings, so NetSquared continues. TechSoup also opened up a new benefit for our volunteers — organizers now get access to our educational offerings. Slide 3 — COVID-19 Response By early March all NetSquared groups had cancelled their live events. But community isn't cancelled — we're pivoting to online events. Leaders like Maria Zaghi in Guatemala are keeping the homefires burning with weekly zoom meetings. Slide 4 — Change to Meetup This was a big quarter for meetup too. They changed their longstanding policy against virtual events and added new features to support webinar links as "locations". And then in the final week of March WeWork sold meetup to a group of private investors — so the future of our events platform is in flux. Slide 5 — Free TechSoup Courses In happier news, TechSoup added a new benefit. Organizers now get free access of TechSoup Courses, which includes over 100 modules teaching skills from tech planning to Google Analytics to fundraising.
