Managing online communities since 1997
Building communities that show up, online and in person
I’m Susan Tenby: community builder, event producer and speaker.

For nearly 30 years, I’ve helped people find each other. I help organizations grow online communities, plan events people actually want to attend and figure out new tools like AI. I bring the strategy, the logistics and the warmth that turn strangers into a community that keeps showing up.
