Thank you for your interest in the Facebook Communities Summit,
the first-ever conference for group admins on Facebook. The event will take place on June 22-23 in Chicago. For two days, we will celebrate community and the people who build it by bringing together some of the top group admins on Facebook.
You'll hear from Facebook executives about new products we're building to help admins grow and manage their groups. You'll have an opportunity to participate in workshops and give the Facebook team real-time feedback on what will make groups better for you. And you'll get to meet other admins from across the country
who are building remarkable communities through groups.
Space at this event is limited. To apply for a spot, please fill out the application below and tell us why you want to join us at the Facebook Communities Summit.
Applications will only be open for a limited time.
We're excited to meet you in Chicago and celebrate all that you do
to make the Facebook community so meaningful.
Q: How much does it cost?
The event itself is free — all we ask is that you make your own way to Chicago. From there, we'll cover the cost of hotel accommodations and food during the event.
Q: Can multiple admins submit an application for the same group?
Please limit applications to one per group, and have one group admin submit the application on behalf of your group.
Q: How many people from my group are allowed to attend?
Each group can nominate up to three admins to attend. We'll have more details on this for groups who are invited to attend.
Q: Is this a full-day conference?
We will host a welcome reception on the evening June 21, and feature a full day agenda on June 22 and June 23. Clear your schedule for two action-packed days!
