It depends on what you would be hoping to get out of them. Networking is the main benefit, and it's not something I really prioritize. So for me, the cost and time wouldn't be worth what I get out of it.

In my opinion, yes. They offer a wealth of information and networking opportunities for professionals. Conference topics often include case studies, best practices, and new trends in community management. Additionally, attendees can typically expect to hear from industry experts and network with their peers.

In general, community manager conferences can be a great way to learn new skills, network with other professionals, and get inspired.

This one is going to make some of y’all mad, but it’s so annoyingly unnecessary. The most irritating part is “is it a shirt day or a skirt day”…. Like women don’t wear shirts with skirts and men don’t wear shirts with pants. Shirts and skirts are not mutually exclusive. I’ll just leave this here.

I’ve long disliked the term ethics. Definitions of ethics all refer to morals. Morals are very personal and vary a lot from person to person, culture to culture. Law is how we as a society express our preferences and impose rules and restrictions on ourselves. So the question should never be about whether companies can be ethical. What does that mean? One person thinks eating meat is unethical, another thinks it’s perfectly ethical. Companies should focus on complying with the law.

I’m currently in the process of being converted from contractor to permanent. In my initial conversations I was under the impression that I was in a different pay grade and asked for a salary 25k higher than the max allotted for my position. I feel like it gave the impression that I don’t know what I’m doing. Any suggestion how I can recover from this?
