Discourse was at Toronto Community Week - learn all about it!

@Saif @Jenny and @ruben represented Discourse at Toronto Community Week, and rumor has it they had a terrific time talking about migrations, chatting with potential customers and learning about community building from workshops. They’d love to talk to you about their experience - what do you want to know?

I’ll kick it off:

  • what was the most interesting question you got about migrations?
  • how was the weather in Toronto?
  • did you see anybody wearing Discourse socks?

Socks!?! I didn’t know that there would be socks. Now I wish I’d made it up there.

But seriously–I was glad to get a heads up about your presentation. Toronto just wasn’t in the cards for this week.

I’ll start off with this one. The socks have always been a best seller (we were giving them away for free :wink: to attendees)

We had a few people come up saying they were big fans of it from previous events and some were even wearing them to the event!

:discourse: :socks:

Did the Discourse team do a presentation? If so, was it recorded, and available anywhere?

Yes indeed! They gave a talk titled “From Dread to Dream: How Smart CMs Turn Platform Migrations into Community Gold” that was very well received! I am pretty sure there will be a recording and as soon as it’s up, we’ll share the link.

Was great seeing you guys there! Enjoyed listening to some of your strategic approaches on platform migrations - very relevant for a lot of folks in the audience.

I didn’t realize there were socks!

My absolute favorite of the booth swag was the little “Long form is my love language” stickers. I am so not a bumper sticker with pithy sayings, but a walking, talking megathread. These stickers speak to me.

I’d be curious to know what the most common question you ended up fielding at the booth?
