Amy Jo Kim: Building an Online Community

---

Amy Jo Kim, renowned expert in the field of online community design, will be talking about how to build a successful online community.

In association with NMK and eMINT, Amy Jo Kim, renowned online community expert, will be giving an exclusive talk to the UK's new media industry, in which she discusses strategies for building successful online communities.

Amy will argue that it takes more than tools and technology to create a successful community that builds, maintains and amplifies relationships between you and your peers, clients or customers. Web communities are constantly evolving 'social ecosystems' that need the right environment, nutrients and management to thrive at every stage of development.

She will then explain the 'Nine Key Design Stategies' for growing a thriving web community, and demonstrate how some of the web's most successful communities are putting these ideas into practice.
