?? The Gift of Community ?? As we approach the end of 2024, let’s take a moment to celebrate community—the people, networks, and relationships that have supported, inspired, and uplifted us throughout the year. Community is about belonging. It’s about knowing we’re not alone, whether in our personal lives or professional journeys. This year, communities have brought people together, sparked collaboration, and turned ideas into action. ?? Reflect on these questions as we enter 2025: What community has made the biggest impact on you in 2024? How have you contributed to building or strengthening a community this year? How can you nurture these connections in the new year? Let’s honor the communities that have shaped our journeys and continue to foster relationships that inspire growth and connection. ?? Your turn: Tag a community or group that’s had a meaningful impact on you this year. Let’s celebrate them together! ?? #GreenTriangle #DigitalBridges #SystemSynergy #DataFlow #IntegrationInnovation #OperationalExcellence #FutureOfTech #NoMoreSilos #SeamlessExperience #TechConnectivity

As 2024 comes to an end, we celebrate a year of breakthroughs and community empowerment. Each step we took this year—whether in innovation, peacebuilding, or progress—paved the way for a better tomorrow. Here’s to continuing the journey in 2025 with even greater determination. ?#YearInReview2024

Community Doesn’t Happen by Accident—Let’s Make 2025 a Year of Connection: As we kick off 2025, let’s remember: community only works when people choose to participate. The Austin tech ecosystem is vibrant, innovative, and full of incredible talent—but its strength comes from all of us showing up and contributing to the greater good. At the Austin Technology Council, we believe in the power of collaboration. While we’d love to see you at all of our events this year (like our monthly breakfasts, the Gateway Happy Hour in March, the Austin Tech Hall of Fame celebration in the spring, and the C-Suite Summit in the fall), this isn’t just about ATC. It’s about enhancing the entire tech community, together. Let’s kick off 2025 right—starting with our January Roundtable Breakfast on January 9th at Calavista Software. The topic? How to network in our new world of tech and AI. It’s an opportunity to learn, connect, and set the tone for a year of growth and innovation. You can register today on the ATC website—don’t wait! Austin’s best days are ahead, but only if we make them happen. Show up. Engage. Let’s build a community that continues to lead, inspire, and thrive. See you at breakfast and all throughout the new year! Happy New Year. We ask you to help ATC in our next phase of community development in 2025.

?? Why should your association invest in a community platform? ?? Associations are increasingly turning to community platforms, and for good reason! With a community platform, you can foster direct communication with your members and provide them with an easily searchable knowledge base. It also gives your team a break—when members help each other, your staff can focus on more strategic tasks. Plus, it gives you deeper insight into the needs of your community, helping you make more informed decisions and respond to concerns faster. But that’s just the beginning! Curious to learn more? Read the full blog for all 8 reasons why a community platform could be a game-changer for your association!?? https://lnkd.in/eS3D8Bbp #Associations #Community #DigitalTransformation

?? Recap of "The Heart of DeFi: Unpacking the Role and Impact of Community" Panel Discussion Last week's session was not just a discussion, but a vibrant exchange of ideas that brought together top experts like 0xCorina ??, Bill Decker, Soledad Contreras, and Maria Magenes. Moderated by our founder, Alessio Zazzarini, the panel delved deep into the critical role of community in the sustainability and success of DeFi projects. Key Takeaways: - Community as the Backbone: The consensus among our panelists was clear — communities are not just support systems; they are the very foundation of any successful DeFi project. Their role in decentralized decision-making and innovation is indispensable. - Building Engaged Communities: Effective community building requires transparency in communicating a project’s goals and fostering an inclusive environment where feedback is not just heard but acted upon. - Engagement and Incentivization: We discussed the balance between offering incentives like airdrops and the importance of nurturing genuine engagement to ensure long-term participation and support. - Community Impact on Development: Feedback from community interactions plays a crucial role in the iterative development process, helping refine and adapt products to better meet user needs. - Strategic Use of Tools: The dialogue included an analysis of various tools and platforms that can enhance community engagement but emphasized the importance of genuine growth over mere numerical increase. Conclusion: The vibrant discussion concluded with a powerful reminder: the strength of a community lies not in its size but in the engagement and quality contributions of its members. As we continue to navigate the evolving landscape of DeFi, the insights from this panel will undoubtedly shape our strategies and approaches moving forward. Thank you to all our panelists and attendees who joined the session and contributed to the rich exchange of ideas. Let’s keep the momentum going as we build stronger, more engaged communities in the DeFi space!
