About this episode

David Nebinski and Zach Hawtof discuss the success and planning of the first-ever Community Led Growth Conference.

I cohosted the first-ever Community Led Growth Conference (CLG) with Zach Hawtof on Friday March 13th. On Monday March 16th, we chatted about it in this podcast episode. We talked about how the conference came together in two months, how it was sold-out, our programming choices, and how a few serendipitous things came together for the conference to happen. The conference was a big success and we wanted to share all about it in case you want to host something like this!
