DevFest Success: How to grow a thriving community (even in ‘flyover country’)

By Kyle Paul

Elevator Pitch

In this session I share what helped me build & grow the Kansas City Google Developer Group community from the struggles of being in ‘flyover country’ to the ideals gleaned from Star Trek captains.

Description

The Kansas City Google Developer Group runs a dev conference that has doubled in size each year, fostering inclusivity and participants from far west as California and far east as the Ukraine. Learn how they’ve done it and gain tips for proactively engaging user group communities – without waiting for them to come to you.
