Spring is approaching, and that means Customer Success events are gearing up! From smaller, local events like ChurnZero's RYGs to massive conferences like Gainsight's Pulse. GGR is continuing our Live events this year, so be sure to check out how you can make sure to stay in the loop in the Community section below. Networking and learning can be just the stimulant you need to beat the winter doldrums!

Events

🗨️ GGR CS Leadership Office Hours

The GGR Leadership Office Hours are a great way to connect with your peers through conversations about leading CS topics.

Wondering if it is worth it? Here is some feedback from our latest event:

These present a unique opportunity to bounce ideas off other professionals. The format is great, just enough of a start to get us in the right mindset, time for collaboration and close with key takeaways. Thank you for hosting these, I look forward to more!

Our 2024 schedule is now available here, and our next meetup is Thursday, February 22nd.

GGR Live Events

Want to be sure you are in the know about a GGR Live event in your area? Take a moment to complete your profile, especially your state/territory/province. With remote work continuing to be a way of life, it is much harder to identify potential attendees based on your company. This field is private, and will only be used to target messages for meet-ups and events in your area.

It is also a great chance to update your profile information if you have changed roles or jobs!

Now Launched! CS Leaders Group

Are you a CS Leader who has been missing the ability to connect directly with other leaders? GGR hears you and wants to help. In this new group, members are vetted before being allowed to join, ensuring that you 1) know that you are talking directly to peers, and 2) have conversations that are not part of the entire GGR membership (your conversations are private!)

If this is something that you would benefit from, take a moment to fill out a quick form so we can review your request and get you in this private area within GGR! Access the form here.
