About 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 5 days of learning, collaboration, inspiration and outcomes.

Swarm grew out of the Australian Community Manager Roundtables in 2009, and was founded by veteran community management leaders Venessa Paech and Alison Michalk to support and grow community management as a practice.

Since 2020, Swarm has been run online, to ensure the most accessible, affordable and inclusive experience for all who might wish to participate.

Schedule

Swarm Conference 2022 will take place over 5 days, from Monday 15 August to Friday 19 August. There are several sessions a day, with breaks throughout to reflect, get refreshments, attend to other priorities, or network with attendees.

The complete schedule will be published on August 1.

Topics for 2022 include: new models for community strategy, building community led businesses, measurement that matters, ritual building, meaningful automation, building ambassador programs, feedback loops with your member and users, the emotional labor or community management, stewarding equitable and inclusive digital spaces and more.

What people say

“Swarm is the must-attend event of the year for Australian community managers. The speakers always inform, challenge and inspire.”

Jason Hill

“You can’t put a price on the value of connecting with community managers from different sectors. As a community for mental health and suicide prevention with specific needs and risks, we learn from everyone and see what fits for us. Swarm is an awesome opportunity to meet others and hear from the best.”

Sophie Potter
SANE

“Without a doubt Swarm is the best community gathering I have attended, and I’ve attended a lot in my 30yr career. Every detail is designed to facilitate relationship building – and it’s wildly successful. I urge everyone to go. ”
