secondsAbout the conference
Swarm is the longest running conference for community professionals in the world. APAC’s flagship community management conference connects local builders, thinkers, managers and makers with top international talent for learning, collaboration, inspiration and outcomes.
Swarm grew out of the Australian Community Manager Roundtables in 2009, and was founded by veteran community management leaders Alison Michalk and Venessa Paech to support and grow community management as a practice.
From 2020, Swarm moved online, to ensure the most accessible, affordable and inclusive experience for all who might wish to participate during the pandemic that otherwise could have cancelled our gatherings.
In 2023 the event returned to a hybrid physical-virtual event hosted from University of Sydney Law School, Sydney Australia.
In 2024, we’re headed to Melbourne Zoo on Thursday 12 September, for yet another hybrid physical-virtual adventure.
