A few weeks ago, we wrote a blog post entitled “The Way Forward, Part Two“. In it, we asked a series of questions centred around improving our product.

You may have noticed today that we launched the Guest Blogger Program. This was borne out of a meeting we had early on with a member of our community. We have since sifted through our attendee registration lists and have selected core members of our community, and those emails will be sent out today (some of you have already responded, thank you!).

These interviews are centred around 4 questions:

1. What do you like about our events?
2. What do you dislike about our events?
3. Who would you like to hear speak at our events?
4. If you could change one thing about what we do, what would it be?

But we’re not just sticking with that core group. We’d like to hear from you as well! If you have attended an event in the past (or even if you haven’t), and you’re interested in the programming that we offer, we’d like to talk with you. Drop us a note or hit us up on Twitter to setup a meeting (we’ll even buy the coffee!). Alternatively, you can post up in the comments below. ↓

This morning, we met with Donnie Claudino and we talked about higher-level strategies with respect to figuring out who we are and what we are doing. We talked about our goals and vision and he raised an important point when we started talking about the challenges of building a community.

To preface, I’ve always stated that this community is not about us, it’s about you. And when I posted yesterday about our community-building strategy, I neglected to ask a very important question:

What are you looking to gain from being a member of our community? What kind of people/topics would like to see discussed on our blog, on the Refresh Events Twitter, and at our monthly gatherings? We’re looking to engage in a conversation with you about how we can improve our programming.

Instead of blasting out a questionnaire, we’d like to try an experiment. We are going through event registration lists to pick 10 repeat attendees for a 1-on-1 interview. If you have not attended an event before (or even if you have), but are interested in the programming that we offer, we’d like to talk with you (we’ll buy the coffee!). Drop us a note or hit us up on Twitter, and let’s talk.
