HELP US WRITE AN EPIC…

The Collabforge team are serious about helping improve the world’s collaboration capability—we launched Epic Collaboration last month.

We’re so happy with the initiative’s progress and excited to see what it spells for our collective future. Missed out? Watch the event video below and let us know if you want to get involved!

COLLABORATING WITH THE CROWD

We hosted Collaborating with the Crowd, the second Epic Collaboration event in Melbourne. The event was a series of lightning talks with George Siosi Samuels (Hub Melbourne), Kirsten Larsen (Open Food Network) and Stephen Johnson (Altitud3), all talking about collaboration from their unique perspectives.

Watch/listen to all three talks, and see how attendees weighed in on collaboration via our world café format here.
