We don’t come across many events that are tailored exclusively to the forum industry, however we are pleased to announce our involvement with ForumCon. ForumCon is an annual event was launched just a few years ago with the goal of bringing together the industry’s leading forum owners and experts to discuss growth, management, and monetization strategies for forums.
This years I’m pleased to announce that MyBB will be among a select group of media partners who will have a presence at the show. We are hoping to have at least two team members attending, and we may have a couple of tickets to give away to lucky members of the community.
Key Details
ForumCon SF will take place on June 12th at the Hotel Kabuki in the heart of downtown San Francisco. The event will kick off at 9am and conclude with a cocktail hour for networking / conversation at a restaurant / lounge nearby.
More information on location as well as how to get tickets can be found here.
