“The future of social, cultural & economic life lies in the future of coherent communities and our ability to collaborate more effectively.”

theCOREconference is committed to helping leaders build strong communities through the integration of information, best practices, tools and connection to like-minded individuals and synergistic companies that are at the center of the community revolution taking place in society.

theCORE takes a systemic approach to inherent challenges by empowering current and emerging leaders with tangible information and practices around community building and collaboration. Providing collaborative solutions for the universal challenges within community structures, we foster resilient social and economic networks with greater quality of life for our key relationships.

theCORE’s main activities will include:

  • Building and strengthening the community of theCOREmembers, to facilitate the exchange of ideas, knowledge and best practice; and to encourage joint working between sectors, organizations and communities.
  • Developing accessible and useful resources including methods, skills and tools, to help theCORE members and others increase their effectiveness.
  • Organizing events where individuals and organizations can learn more about effective social technologies and collaborative tools and share experiences and ideas.
  • Communicating and disseminating ideas about tools to respond to complexity, leverage more effectively the power of community and collaboration. For example how a group of diverse stakeholders can come together to solve creatively and wisely complex problems, how can online community be used to leverage your mission, what are the foundation of intentional communities that thrive and last.
  • Increasingly theCORE will also respond to needs of its community and continue to increase its consulting offers and consulting certifications.

Addressing and providing solutions for the universal challenges within community and collaborative structures, we can foster a stronger social and economic fabric and lead to a greater quality of life for our communities and in our relations.
