Communities are Changing the World
Businesses are waking up to the power of community. As the trend of decentralization continues, the need for community strategists and practitioners is growing, and the practice is being defined. CMX Summit seeks to gather the leaders, builders and innovators of communities in order to meaningfully shape the future of the industry, and our community-driven world.
