It’s all part of our ongoing commitment to provide the best community experience for our members. If you’d like to stay updated on all of the changes happening in the community, we recommend you subscribe to this forum. We update it as soon as changes are made! 



HAVE YOU REGISTERED YET?


We are gearing up for bbcon 2022 with best-selling author and activist Glennon Doyle just announced as a special keynote conversation, and registration is now open. From now until bbcon 2022, we are featuring our bbcon attendees on our new featured members page. This gives you easy access to connect with fellow attendees ahead of the conference. You can also check out the bbcon community for discussions, announcements, and to browse and connect with past bbcon attendees.  

 


LISTEN UP! 


In the latest sgENGAGE podcast, topics discussed included how businesses emerged as the most trusted institutions in the 2022 Edelman Trust Barometer, which also showed that people expect more from businesses in solving the world’s problems. So, how can companies step up to lead the charge and maintain that position of trust?
