### Webinar: Migrating from Khoros to Discourse

The Discourse team hosted a webinar about migrating from Khoros to Discourse, to help organizations considering a move given that the future of Khoros is uncertain. We shared insights from enterprise case studies and welcomed two special guests who led a major real-world migration. [Read more about it](https://meta.discourse.org/t/webinar-migrating-from-khoros-to-discourse/374328), or watch the webinar recording below.

This topic got a bit out of date. Lithium is now Khoros, so I have updated the OP accordingly. The official importer is still for Lithium.

We’ve also got a comparison page up on our website you might like to look at if you are considering switching from Khoros to Discourse:
