LBC #115 London Speakers, Podcast Episode with Ruthie Berber & New Local Chapters live!

Hello, fellow Community Builders! šŸ‘‹

We’ve got exciting news brewing across the globe—from London to Lisbon, Barcelona to Denver—and we can’t wait to share it all with you.

Let’s kick things off with London Community Week—now just 13 days away! šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§

The full agenda is live, and it’s everything we dreamed of: a strategy hackathon, hands-on workshops, panels, and an unconference (no slides, no fluff—just real talk). Plus, we’re gathering 200+ brilliant community minds under one roof.

šŸŽ§ And if you haven’t tuned in yet, the brand-new Community Week Podcast hosted by Kateryna Bova is your backstage pass to all the big ideas.

Meanwhile, our Local Chapters are blooming! šŸŒ
