Let’s tap into our collective professional expertise.
Events can be powerful transformative experiences that deliver unparalleled opportunities for attendees to learn, connect, and grow. But when everyone packs up and heads home, the euphoria and Eureka moments of the onsite experience quickly fade. Sustain the value of your events year-round and uncover new monetization opportunities by helping attendees forge stronger connections – both with your brand and with each other.
With Fuse, learn not only what tactics to deploy, but also why they work and how to apply them to your specific brand. Events aren’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is Fuse. Get precisely what you need from this community – by requesting resources from Fuse moderators, asking questions of your peers in the Fuse LinkedIn group, or joining our dedicated group of Community Champions, whose invaluable direction and guidance help chart the course for Fuse’s continued evolution.

Like, Literally, Dude: Language to Build Identity and Community
Valerie Fridland, author and linguistics professor
Language has the power to create inclusive and accepting spaces or exclusive and intolerant ones. The use of a specific word can immediately cause a person to recoil just as easily as it can build trust.
Join Valerie Fridland, author of the popular book “Like, Literally, Dude: Arguing for the Good in Bad English” for a LinkedIn Live conversation on Sept. 14. Valerie’s witty and scientifically-informed stories will get you thinking about language and word choice in a whole new way.
