My first big project in my new job at Hampton is to plan a member dinner in NYC. I want it to be in a private room, amazing food, and a really “wow” experience in terms of food and venue. Anyone NYC based have a favorite private room / dining experience they recommend? I was thinking of doin gone with Resident but am not 100% sold. Also, if anyone has incredible ice breakers to get CEOS to go deep would love to hear people’s favs. I have always loved “what is keeping you up at night?” as one.

For simplicity reasons, I am trying to keep non-private channels to a minimum on this Slack, so I plan on keeping same number of slots. However, after 2 weeks, it seems like the #ask-for-intros is not useful to people. Any suggestions on what would be helpful for me to change it to for you all?

Another venue request: dinner in SF for 12 people, ideally a private room. want it to feel special and elevated. thank you!

Hey all! Looking for guidance on event insurance - we have local hosts running events with our brand round the world, and are keen to cover our bases with insurance. Any tips for approaching this / recommended providers?

Hey CH friends, happy Monday! I’m asking for some crowdsourced help today on a community research product. What are your favorite communities and businesses managing communities? Any and all are fair game…. VC, SaaS, content-based groups like Lenny’s - the more, and the more diverse, the better! I’d particularly love tips on smaller ones. I’m familiar with the big players like Notion, Miro, Figma, On Deck, etc, but I’m really keen to find smaller, sub 5 - 10k member communities that are crushing it. Thanks in advance!

any recs for an LA photographer? need someone for 2 hours to take pics of a dinner i am hosting

Does anyone here run community for a diverse audience, different job roles etc?

Hey y’all - I want to create a Mod Squad (group of active members to help me, if nothing else just DM me links to posts/comments to review to ensure everyone is following our community guidelines). Anyone have something like this? Appreciate any thoughts & insights on it 🙏

Hello everyone 👋 I’m putting together a pitch deck for a community, and would love to get some inspiration (structure, aesthetics, etc). Would anybody care to share a pitch deck for theirs, or for one they know and that they like? Thank you! 🙏

On discourse, is it possible to have a private discourse instance that has a button on the login page to ‘request access’ for those who haven’t been specifically invited? Right now, it seems that if your discourse is private then people either see a login page or they have to be manually invited, which seems very limiting

Hey friends, know anyone who is looking for a tool to automate 1:1 connections in their community? I've been on an indie hacking journey for the last couple of months trying to build a tool for community builders who want to organise curated connections program. One whose pricing doesn't scale with the number of members. (Got the idea when a bootstrapped client whose community i'm managing said that he can't afford Meetsy, Intros or Orbiit) I'm calling it Curated Connections - it is in a private beta right now and I need help in getting my first users. Please DM if you or anyone you know is interested - I'm doing white glove onboarding for the first few users! 🙏🏼

A question I am wondering about... What courses have you seen or taken that would be useful for your Community Career path. I feel like I would benefit from a deeper understanding of analytics and extracting insights from Community data to help make educated community decisions and/or refine strategy. How about you? I'm looking to refresh and build on some skills while I'm in search of my next role, so any suggestions would be helpful
