We’ve been getting a lot of feedback from the Geekettes about the type of workshops and events you would like to attend. Due to high demand, we’re especially excited to present you with a great panel that will focus on strategies for community management. The panel will be moderated by Jess Erickson, covering a broad range of perspectives, experiences and opinions.
Speakers include:
Jennifer Haack from Waymate
Jennifer Haack is the PR & Community Manager at Waymate – your travel agency 3.0. She originally hails from Hamburg, but driven by wanderlust, spent 7 years abroad in metropolises like San Francisco and London. Before joining the Waymate team she worked at a PR Agency, but realized quickly that the startup world was more her sort of thing. At Waymate, Jenny manages communications, ranging from PR, appearances and events to all social media channels.

The panel will discuss these topics:
- How to create a community from zero.
- How to run a one-women show with a great impact.
- How to maintain a loyal community (online and mobile interaction to keep them engaged and taking it offline).
We’ve been very fortunate to welcome 99designs as sponsor and host of this event - their office is directly at the river Spree and if the weather allows, they’ll run a BBQ after the panel.
