Wikia Community Connect 2015

A global event to showcase and educate about an essential part of the FANDOM experience and community: seeing your communities grow and evolve over time! Presenters from the FANDOM Community Staff broadcast topical presentations, each followed by a moderated question & answer session. Understanding how your communities can best work for the fresh generation of readers is key, so there is something for all skill levels.

· Shifting Audiences: How to think about your community readers — they may not be who you think (and may not be who they were when the community started)!
· Modernization: What's new with the FANDOM tools, network, and platform. Where are we going this year?
· Out with the old: What are some older design patterns that no longer fit a modern web or wiki? How can these be replaced with something responsive and responsible without losing your community flavor?
· Converting readers to editors: How to get volunteers interested, and keep them involved. Why FANDOM is a different culture than Wikipedia.
